Head of Finance

Location: Wolverhampton (flexible working available)

We’re partnering with a privately owned business with a diverse portfolio spanning real estate and investment assets, who are looking to appoint a Head of Finance to take ownership of the finance function as the group continues to evolve.

This is a broad, hands-on role, ideal for an experienced finance professional who enjoys autonomy, variety and working closely with senior stakeholders in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment.

The Role

As Head of Finance, you will oversee the day-to-day finance operations across multiple entities and investment structures. You’ll work closely with senior decision-makers, both internally and externally to ensure accurate reporting, strong financial controls and effective financial management across the group.

Experience within real estate or investment-led environments is advantageous, but commercial judgement, adaptability and willingness to learn are equally important.

Key Responsibilities

• Ownership of financial records and ledgers across multiple entities
• Support and produce statutory accounts preparation and year-end processes
• Preparation of monthly management accounts and financial statements
• Property-focused financial reporting, including rent rolls, service charges and lease accounting
• Support accounting and reporting for investment holdings across private and public markets
• Cash flow management
• Leading audit with external auditors
• Ensure strong financial controls, governance and compliance

About You

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or qualified by experience (QBE)
• Proven experience in a Head of Finance, Financial Controller, Senior Accountant or similar role
• Exposure to property, investments or complex group structures is beneficial but not essential
• Strong technical accounting and financial reporting skills
• Comfortable operating in a hands-on, multi-entity environment
• High levels of discretion, professionalism and attention to detail
• Confident working directly with senior stakeholders and advisers

What’s on Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Flexible working arrangements and hours including hybrid working
• Opportunity to shape and improve finance processes
• Close working relationship with senior decision-makers
• Long-term progression within a growing, privately owned business
