Senior Finance Manager | Fully Remote (UK) | salary range from £55,000-£65,000 (part-time and flexible arrangements considered), dependant upon experience.
FinFlare is a boutique, CFO-led advisory firm that embeds finance teams into early-stage and scaling technology businesses. We're not a traditional accountancy practice - we are our clients' finance function, sitting in their team meetings, attending their board meetings, and on the end of the phone before an investor call.
The role
You'll own a portfolio of 8-12 venture-backed tech clients end to end - management accounts, payroll, forecasting, board packs - and be the first person founders and boards call. You'll direct and coach members of our back-office delivery team, acting as the quality gate before anything reaches a client.
What you'll do
- Own client relationships: monthly/bi-monthly meetings, board attendance, proactive scope management
- Run the management accounts cycle: review, quality-assure, and deliver on time every month
- Direct and coach our back-office delivery team and junior staff, reviewing their output against FinFlare's standards
- Oversee payroll accuracy and compliance across your portfolio
- Own board and investor reporting timetables, including KPI and runway commentary
- Maintain live cash flow forecasts and financial models, flagging runway risk early
- Manage billing and fee recoverability across your portfolio
About you
- Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), significant PQE
- Track record owning senior client/stakeholder relationships - comfortable presenting to founders and boards
- Strong management accounts experience, including reviewing others' work
- Confident with cash flow forecasts and three-statement models (Excel/Google Sheets)
- UK payroll process experience
- Xero and modern finance stack experience (Dext, ApprovalMax, payroll/expense platforms)
- Excellent communicator, able to translate numbers for non-financial audiences
Desirable: SaaS/early-stage tech experience, SaaS metrics (ARR, MRR, churn, CAC, LTV), equity fundraising exposure, R&D tax credits/SEIS/EIS knowledge, coaching experience.
Why FinFlare? fully remote, flexible/part-time options considered, exposure to a portfolio of ambitious venture-backed businesses, and genuine influence over how a growing firm operates.
