New Yesterday
Your new role In your new role you will be responsible for running the business day to day while getting it ready for sale. You will improve how the company operates, strengthen reporting and processes, and help build a clear, well structured management setup. Working closely with senior leadership and advisors, you'll focus on improving performance, increasing value, and reducing reliance on owners. You will also support sale preparation and due diligence, ensuring the business is organised, credible, and attractive to potential buyers while maintaining strong service delivery.
What you'll need to succeed To succeed in this role, you'll need strong commercial and financial leadership experience within an SME environment, ideally in logistics, IT services, or a similar operational business. You will be a qualified accountant, ACA, ACCA, or CIMA with proven experience improving financial controls, reporting, and business performance. A track record of preparing a business for sale or investment such as improving processes, governance, and management information is highly desirable. You should be hands on, pragmatic, and comfortable driving change, with the ability to work closely with owners, advisors, and teams to deliver results in a fast moving setting.
What you'll get in return In return, you'll have the opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of a growing SME, with real influence over strategy, performance, and value creation. You'll work closely with senior stakeholders, gain exposure to transaction and sale preparation, and make a visible impact on the business. The role offers a competitive salary, flexibility, and the chance to develop your leadership profile in a hands on, trusted position at a pivotal stage of the company's journey.
