Job description

Head of Finance| Innovative Healthtech Company | London/Hybrid

Harmonic are delighted to be working on an exclusive basis with a rapid growth health technology business in their search for a Head of Finance. Our client has developed a disruptive platform giving customers access to mental health professionals, as well as supplementary exercises and support tailored to their specific needs. Their mission is to make personalised therapy affordable for all, offering support across a wide range of issues such as stress, eating disorders, identity, and depression.

Following a recent £10million fundraise from a renowned private equity fund, our client is looking for an ambitious Head of Finance to work alongside the CFO in building out the company's finance function. The role is incredibly broad, responsible for day-to-day finances as well as supporting in the building of commercial finance processes. Our client is incredibly dedicated to their growth, already planning their next round of fundraising and looking to scale the team with a management accountant within the next year.

Despite their determination to grow, they focus on retaining the values they were built on and an open and supportive culture. They are ambitious, driven by growth and the impact their service can have, so the right candidate will share this passion for the business to become a success story in its field. They plan to offer a generous equity package and bonuses, including paid mental health days, to the successful candidate.

The Role:

This role is very hands-on, taking ownership of Financial and Statutory Reporting whilst supporting the CFO on developing the commercial finance processes. You will have significant exposure to key investors and the senior leadership team, so it is a good position to contribute to the business's growth. This role will deal directly with the board and is largely autonomous so the ideal candidate will be someone who thrives in these environments.

You will continuously develop ways to improve the financial controls of the business whilst developing key commercial KPIs to advise the business's strategic growth. You will have the opportunity to build your own team, so we are looking for a proven mentor and approachable figure who the team can look to for leadership in difficult periods.

Responsibilities:

  • Strategic analysis of budgets and forecasts.
  • Support the CEO on Investor and Board reporting and future fundraising
  • Development of company Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) function
  • Oversee annual audit and month end processes
  • Develop high quality financial modelling
  • Implement insightful KPI's and analysis to drive improved decision making
  • Provide effective Business Partnering to Sales and Tech teams
  • Support the CEO with Investor and Board reporting and future fundraising projects
  • Manage the team to deliver the completion of statutory reporting
  • Liaise with auditors and third-party advisors to deliver tax returns
  • Constant evaluation and improvement of financial controls and processes
  • Project management of implementation of new financial systems
  • Build, mentor and develop an excellent team as the business grows
  • Bring transactional finance in-house

What our client would like to see (essential):

  • Previous experience as a Financial Controller or Head of Finance in a tech or SaaS start-up/scale-up.
  • Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA).
  • Commercially astute with strong financial analysis experience.
  • Ambitious, clear communicator.
  • Proven management experience.
  • Ambitious and 'understands' the 'chaos' that life in a start-up involves!

What we'd like to see (bonus):

  • Experience in a health/medical technology or software business.
  • Experience within a fast-growth SME.
  • Exposure to both Financial Controls and commercial finance.
  • Previously supported the implementation of a new ERP system.

Salary: £75,000 - £90,000 + benefits
