Role

We are going through an exciting phase of growth, as such we are looking for a Strong Senior Finance manager to support the business through this period.

You will be a lead in the month-end and year-end reporting, using your prior experience and strong technical skills to deliver timely and accurate reporting, although you will of course be supported and guided by the Head of Finance!

You will bring best practice on workpapers, reconciliations and internal controls & procedures to drive continuous improvement in both accuracy, efficiency and timeliness within the team.

You should also be an experienced people leader with experience of managing and developing a team to perform well as you will have a very small team from day one.

• You must be ACCA/ACA/CIMA qualfied (or equivalent) with significant PQE
• You have team lead/management experience - ideally a team of 2-3
• Experience running a finance team in a small / medium sized business with less than perfect systems
• VAT experience

What’s in it for you:

• Grow with Goodlord: your development is important to us. Have a goal in mind? Share it with us and you can use your £1000 annual development fund to support it. We guarantee you’ll learn loads and develop both personally and professionally at Goodlord too!
• Your well-being matters: bi-weekly coaching with Sanctus to provide Goodlordians with a safe place to talk and support your mental health
• Unlimited holiday and flexible time off: we encourage Goodlordians to make use of their unlimited time off to enjoy the world, recharge, and reboot. We also offer time off for volunteering and training, so you can give back to the community and pursue your passions
