Job descriptions & requirements
Responsibilities:
- Set the group's financial strategy with the Group CEO and translate it into budgets, targets, and capital plans for each entity.
- Build a consolidated financial view across all entities, with rolling forecasts and a cash-flow model that anticipates the working-capital demands of trade cycles.
- Take ownership of the group's debts and liabilities: establish a complete register, agree settlement plans, manage creditor relationships, and shift funding towards longer-tenor institutional financing.
- Validate margins and commercial terms before any mandate or trade transaction moves to execution, and track margin through to completion.
- Build the financial models behind the holding company capital raise, entity business plans, and the deals the group structures.
- Support investor relations: prepare financial information for investor materials and data rooms, respond to due diligence, and report to shareholders once they are on board.
- Produce monthly management accounts and a concise financial report for the Group CEO and the Board, including a rolling 90-day revenue forecast.
- Design the controls a multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction group requires: approval workflows, revenue assurance, inter-company cross-charges and grant accounting.
- Lead and develop the Strategic Finance Officer, and manage relationships with auditors, tax advisers and banks.
Requirements:
- A professional accounting or finance qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CFA or equivalent) and substantial experience in strategic finance, FP&A or corporate finance.
- Strong financial modelling skills and experience of supporting a capital raise or investor due diligence.
- Experience in a multi-entity or cross-border business; exposure to commodity trade, trade finance or investment advisory is a strong advantage.
- The confidence to tell leadership what the numbers say, and the judgement to offer a way forward with it.
- A builder's temperament: comfortable creating order where structure is still being formed.
