The problem: The current go-to for start-ups and SMEs is outsourcing their finance function and team to accountancy firms who are very far removed from the business and often simply produce numbers without context.

Our solution: At fin-house, we deliver 'in-house'. This means our clients will have a team IN their business, providing proactive insight, advice and commercial support, enabling them to make the right decisions at the right time. We make sure our clients get the finance function they need, when they need it, seamlessly integrated into their business.

Location: We are based in Waterloo (London) with a minimum of three days in the office a week

Salary: Between £26,000 - £38,000 depending on experience
