A high growth business in the heart of Liverpool City Centre has a newly created vacancy for Finance Director. It is an opportunity for a commercially curious, operationally focused finance leader who wants to be at the heart of the business, not behind the numbers. Working closely with the Managing Director and leadership team, you will play a central role in shaping strategy, improving margins and influencing day‑to‑day operational decisions.

• Act as a trusted commercial partner to operations on cost control, margin analysis and efficiency
• Shape and support pricing, tariff and operational decisions
• Improve financial processes, controls and management information
• Lead and develop a small finance team
• Work closely with the Managing Director as part of the senior leadership group
• Bring financial challenge, clarity and insight to both short‑term decisions and long‑term strategy
• Spend time outside the finance office, getting into the operational detail when required

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
• Proven finance leadership experience with a hands‑on, roll‑up‑your‑sleeves approach
• Strong commercial acumen and operational mindset
• Comfortable challenging and influencing senior stakeholders with credibility
• Curious, pragmatic and motivated by building and improving, not maintaining the status quo
• Enjoys working in a business that is evolving and growing

• High‑visibility Finance Director position with real influence
• Close partnership with the Managing Director
• Finance as a driver of operational outcomes, not just reporting
• Opportunity to grow with the business and shape how finance operates
