Finance Director - Bristol

£90,000-£100,000 - CFO
Ref: 805 Date Posted: Friday 19 Sep 2025

This is more than a Finance Director role – it’s an opportunity to join a high-growth, founder-led scale-up at a pivotal moment in its journey. With ambitious expansion plans, a passionate leadership team, and a brand that’s rapidly gaining traction, the business is seeking a finance leader who can turn data into strategy, and numbers into a story that inspires action.

Why this role?

  • You’ll be joining at a stage where your impact will be highly visible – building a finance function that not only supports growth but helps drive it.

  • The business is on a journey that will involve scaling operations, international expansion, and raising capital to fuel future growth.

  • There’s a clear trajectory for this individual to develop into a future CFO, COO or Commercial Director, making this a true career-defining move.

 

What you’ll bring:

  • ACA (or equivalent) qualified, with a strong grounding in financial rigour and strategic thinking.

  • Experience in a growth-oriented or entrepreneurial setting, comfortable building processes as well as operating at pace.

  • Exposure to capital raise, investor relations or funding discussions would be highly advantageous.

  • Most importantly, the ability to animate the numbers – transforming financial insights into a compelling narrative that drives decision-making across the business.

 

The opportunity:

  • Lead and shape the finance function, ensuring it scales in line with the business.

  • Partner with the founders and senior leadership to provide insight that underpins bold commercial decisions.

  • Play a key role in fundraising and strategic growth initiatives.

  • Develop alongside the company’s success, with scope to step into broader leadership as the journey continues.

This role will suit a high-potential finance leader looking to grow with a business, influence its trajectory, and step into a senior leadership role earlier than most traditional paths allow.
