Head of Finance, up to £100,000, Fashion Retail, based in North London

Varied senior finance role for established luxury fashion brand. It is a British success story, and with the expansion of the brand, the finance team is now forming to keep up with the growth. This is a pivotal role to enable the COO to be freed from the day-to-day finance leadership. The business has a unique culture, which isn’t for everyone. The creativity, pace, and demanding nature will own suit candidates who have an attitude to over exceed expectations and really commit to the project.

Immediate challenges are:

1. Continue developing the small team enabling the COO to focus on external / commercial matters
2. Create management reporting and FPA processes that provide the right level of insight & forward planning for the new Group representatives

General duties include:

• Manage the production of the monthly management accounts & commentary and responsible for all financial reporting to the senior team, including the financial KPIs
• Responsible for the annual statutory accounts and audit process
• Responsible for working capital and treasury management, including currency-based cash flow forecasting
• Manage & deliver FX hedging strategy
• Responsible for UK and International VAT/sales tax compliance & returns
• Work with external tax advisors regarding Company Corporation tax returns
• Develop the ERP & other systems utilized by the finance team

This is a hands-on end to end finance leadership role. So, you will need to be comfortable in both the detail & also higher-level tasks. You must be a qualified accountant and have experience of the retail/fashion/consumer sector. You may be looking for a move into a SME from a corporate career, or already in a SME. Most importantly is your attitude & how you will add to the team and culture. We are looking for a candidate who can see the opportunity, join the ride and play a pivotal role in the businesses success for years to come.
