Background
A large-scale film studio and growing technology-enabled cluster of supporting businesses and educational institutions. 
In light of current expansion plans a full-time CFO is required.

Job Description
The person selected for this role will be responsible for the financial controls and reporting as well as the budgeting and financial planning activities of the company, and will support the CEO and other senior management as appropriate.
The remainder of the finance team consists of a full time Financial Controller and full time Assistant Management Accountant. 
There is a large real estate component to studio operations, which will become more pronounced as the studio pursues its strategy of expansion (through leasehold expansion and freehold acquisition).  Accordingly, the successful candidate must have strong real estate expertise, preferably from an operational business that has a large real estate component.
The successful candidate will have a “hands-on” approach to the business and financial modelling required to manage the business effectively.  The successful candidate will also provide specific financial analyses to support both operational and commercial strategic decisions as well as defining and monitoring the key measures to evaluate and implement those strategies.

The CFO will take primary responsibility for board interactions and board pack preparation and will be expected to present financial information at board meetings and have the experience and confidence to discuss financial matters at board level.
The CFO will also be expected to take an active role in fundraise discussions with potential investors and strategic property partners.  They will be supported in this regard by staff from the company.
Given the operational nature of the business, the role will be based full-time in North West London.

•             Proven experience as a CFO
•             Appropriate technical accounting qualifications (e.g. ACA)
•             Expert with financial models
•             Strong real estate expertise, preferably from an operational business that has a large real estate component.
•             Commercial focus:
o             Ability to understand the business behind the numbers and provide valuable business insights
o             Ability to identify key commercial issues and opportunities and develop concrete actions plans
o             Ability to drive data-based decisions, especially in relation to new investments/expansions
o             Ability to direct key commercial decisions, e.g. in relation to pricing of large productions
•             Ability to represent the Studios externally and form long-term partnerships with relevant organisations and individuals
•             Ability to interpret and communicate financial information clearly to individuals at different levels in the organisation (i.e. from board members to junior members of staff)
•             Strong communication and interpersonal skills; an ability to work collaboratively with colleagues at all levels in the organisation
•             Experience managing others and running a department
•             Strong prioritisation and time management skills, maximising personal and team effectiveness
•             Extensive experience using financial accounting packages</sp
