The Group spans six operating entities across bin hire and property development, waste services, legal services, agriculture and wellness, all wholly owned by a single Director who moves fast and runs multiple projects at once.This is not a conventional Group Finance Manager role.
It's a genuine seat at the table with a founder who has built serious value across his businesses but knows his financial oversight hasn't kept pace with growth.
Fund flows between entities haven't always been formally documented, and there's currently no single consolidated view of the Group's debt, cash or net asset position.You'll be the first person to sit across the entire Group with a clear mandate: bring order, structure and visibility to the Director's complete financial position, business and personal.ResponsibilitiesOwning the Group's consolidated financial position at all times,
