Title: Head of Finance
Company: Refreshing Finance Recruitment
Location: London Area, United Kingdom
Head of Finance
£95k
We're hiring a Head of Finance — and this isn't your typical finance role.
💼 Our client is one of the UK's most exciting media companies, scaling rapidly and expanding globally. They need someone who doesn't just run the books — they need someone who builds the engine.
🎯 What makes this role different:
→ You'll report directly to the CFO and sit at the heart of strategic decision-making
→ You'll use AI tooling (Claude) and a modern ERP (Campfire) to automate the mundane and focus on what matters
→ You'll build content ROI frameworks, support M&A activity, and lead the company's US financial expansion
→ You'll lead a lean, high-performing team and help grow it
This is a role for someone with extreme ownership — someone who treats the company's capital like their own and holds a genuinely high bar for excellence.
✅ What they're looking for:
• Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent)
• Significant post-qualification experience in a fast-paced environment
• A tech-native mindset — you reach for AI before spreadsheets
• Experience designing data flows and financial architecture, not just reporting
• The confidence to challenge stakeholders and translate complexity into clarity
📍 London (Kennington) · 5 days in-office · Reports to CFO
Media or creator economy experience is a bonus, as is US finance ops knowledge — but neither is essential if you've got the drive and the fundamentals.
