Finance Manager

• Location: London (office-based)
• Salary: £70-90k depending on exp + equity
• Job Type: Permanent, Full-time

We are supporting an early-stage, founder-led fintech operating in the hospitality sector. Following a recent Series A raise, the business is entering an exciting scale-up phase and is now looking to appoint its first senior finance hire.

This is a confidential search for a hands-on Senior Finance Manager who will take full ownership of the finance function and work closely with the founders and leadership team as the business grows.

This is a genuinely hands-on, one-person finance function. You will be responsible for everything from day-to-day finance operations through to forecasting, modelling, and Board-level reporting.

The role will suit someone who enjoys being close to the detail, building structure where needed, and operating in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment.
