If you enjoy the conversation after the numbers, the part where you help a business owner decide what to actually do next, this is where your role becomes the job, not a side benefit of it.
You’ll work closely with a portfolio of owner-managed businesses acting effectively as their outsourced Finance Director, becoming their go-to adviser. No compliance, no production work, just meaningful and commercial conversations that influence real business decisions.
It’s a role built for someone who enjoys thinking beyond the numbers. Someone who wants variety, influence and the chance to see the direct impact of their advice across multiple growing businesses.
Who this role may suit:
This role typically appeals to two types of people:
From Practice - You’re technically strong but most energised by client interaction. You’re frustrated that a vast amount of your time is spent on compliance and want to move into a role where commercial advisory is the core focus.
From Industry - You’re a commercially minded Finance Manager / Senior Finance professional used to influencing decisions. You want more variety, more impact and exposure to multiple businesses rather than just one.
Role overview:
This is a purely client-facing role. A dedicated team handles all compliance and technical production, so your focus stays on delivering value where it counts.
Manage, own and develop a portfolio of 30+ SME clients as their trusted adviser
Lead regular strategic and performance-focused client meetings
Translate financial performance and data into clear, actionable insight
Identify opportunities to improve profitability, cash flow and business value
Support clients on key decisions (growth, pricing, acquisitions, exit planning)
Build strong, lasting relationships with business owners
Mentor junior team members into future advisers.
What’s on Offer:
Base salary up to £80,000
Company car or car allowance
Profit share scheme
Free lunches (4 days a week)
Flexible working hours
Private medical insurance
Team events and development opportunities
Zero compliance work, structured client portfolio from day one with ongoing allocation.
