Finance Director - Remote

Overview

At flatfair, we’re on a mission to make renting fairer, easier, and more accessible for everyone. With over 1,700 five-star Trustpilot reviews we’re doing things differently—and we’re just getting started. We’re looking for an experienced Finance Director to help drive our growth, keep us financially sharp, and make a real impact.

In Short

• Owning our financial strategy – ensuring we scale in a way that’s sustainable, profitable, and aligned with our long-term vision.
• Leading financial planning & analysis – providing accurate forecasting, budgeting, and data-driven insights to support smart decision-making.
• Keeping cash flow healthy – optimising working capital, ensuring financial resilience, and securing funding when required.
• Driving operational efficiency – reviewing and improving financial processes to reduce costs, minimise risk, and boost performance.
• Managing financial compliance – ensuring we meet all regulatory requirements, tax obligations, and financial reporting standards.
• Optimising revenue and cost structures – identifying opportunities to improve pricing models, reduce unnecessary spend, and increase profitability.
• Providing commercial insight – working closely with other teams to assess business opportunities, understand risks, and support growth initiatives.
• Building a high-performing finance function – leading and developing our small but mighty finance team to keep things running smoothly.

Requirements

• A seasoned finance leader – you'll be fully qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with solid experience in a Finance Director (or similar) role.
• A commercial thinker – you’ve got a track record of balancing financial discipline with business growth. You’ll be innovative and interested in the commercial story behind our numbers.
• A hands-on operator – we’re a small, collaborative team, so while you’ll be leading from the front, you won’t be afraid to roll up your sleeves and pitch in on finance admin and operations as needed.
• A strong communicator – able to translate financials into plain English for non-finance teams and compelling stories for external stakeholders.
• An adaptable problem solver – you thrive in a fast-paced, scaling business. Experience in proptech, insurtech or fintech would be a big plus.

Benefits

• Make an impact – shape the future of finance at a company that’s redefining renting.
• Be part of a growing team – we’re scaling fast, and there’s plenty of room to make your mark.
• A supportive culture – we’re all about innovation, collaboration, and making things better for renters, landlords, and agents.
• Work flexibly – you can be based anywhere in the UK, as long as you can travel to the office twice a month.
• Competitive package – including salary, bonus, stock options, and a £1,500 personal development budget.
• Commitment to wellbeing - PMI with Vitality, monthly wellness allowance on Juno, reduced work week and 25 days annual leave (plus an extra day for every year you’re part of the team).
