As a well reputed IT Managed Services Provider, we have a credible track record of delivering excellent outsourced IT and Cyber Security Services.
Right now, we are operating in a new industrial revolution, with AI creating the potential for a new era of growth for businesses. Our focus is the everyday economy - midmarket organisations such as accountants, lawyers, financial services firms and agencies - the “do-it-for-me” economy of specialists who excel in their craft and choose to partner for their technology needs. We exist to help these organisations succeed in this moment, and to ensure their people are empowered to do their best work.
At our core, we are a people business. Our success is built on relationships, trust and the quality of our team. Over the past 30 years, we have established a strong reputation and a distinctive culture that we are proud of. As we pursue our strategic growth ambitions, we are focused on maximising both our brand strength and our professional capabilities - and that means our own back office has to be as sharp, modern and efficient as the service we sell.
Our mission is to be a best-in-class technology services provider in the UK, supercharging a million workers by becoming a trusted partner and, ultimately, an extension of our clients’ own capabilities - their IT, Cybersecurity and AI departments. We are building a modern technology services business that combines over 30 years of trust, context and expertise with the practical deployment of emerging technologies, including AI, across our customer base - and we intend to run our own Finance function the same way.
We are seeking an experienced, commercially-minded finance leader to take ownership of ramsac’s Finance function as our most senior full-time finance hire. Working closely with our COO, you will own the day-to-day leadership of the team, the operational transformation of the function and the commercial finance agenda across the business.
You will lead an established Finance team through this transformation. As AI and automation reshape how the function works, you will shape what the team looks like and how it’s organised to reflect that, with nothing in Finance considered too fixed to challenge.
This role combines strong financial control - accurate reporting, robust processes, tight month-end - with a commercial remit. You will be the financial voice in the room day-to-day for pricing, margin and profitability decisions. You will build the financial and commercial discipline - forecasting, client profitability, margin governance - that lets ramsac scale profitably rather than simply scale.
A modern, AI-enabled Finance function. You will lead the redesign of our Finance operating model end-to-end, using automation and AI to remove manual processing, reconciliation and error-correction work so the team spends its time on analysis and insight rather than admin. You won’t be doing this alone or waiting for off-the-shelf software - you will work directly with our AI Guild, the team of AI engineers building our internal AI platform, to identify, prioritise and deliver the automation and AI tooling that transforms Finance.
Commercial and pricing discipline. Working with our Head of Technical Development, you will introduce the pricing governance, margin controls and client profitability models that ensure new products, services and deals are shaped with a financial mindset from the outset, not retrofitted after the fact.
Fix causes, not symptoms. You will work cross-departmentally to understand how our end-to-end processes affect Finance - what works and what doesn’t - and then drive efficiencies in the areas that matter most to cost, control and accuracy.
Shaping the business. You will be a full member of the Leadership Team, shaping strategic and investment decisions and working in close partnership with the COO on the business’s wider financial strategy.
· Take full ownership and day-to-day leadership of the Finance function, with a clear mandate to transform it into an AI-enabled, higher-value operation.
· Partner closely with ramsac’s COO, translating strategic financial direction into operational delivery, and feeding operational and commercial insight back into strategic planning.
· Working with our Head of Technical Development, deliver pricing governance, margin control and client profitability insight, and provide financial input into new products, services and major deals.
· Drive automation and AI adoption across every finance process and system, working hand-in-hand with our AI Guild to design, build and roll out the tools that remove manual work at pace and identify and close process gaps between departments that currently drive rework and inefficiency.
· Own financial planning, forecasting and management reporting, providing the Leadership Team with the insight needed to protect and grow margin.
· Own ramsac’s statutory and regulatory compliance - including audit, corporation tax, VAT and payroll - acting as the main point of liaison with auditors and other external financial parties to ensure ramsac’s core statutory and financial obligations are met accurately and on time.
· Be a full, vocal member of the Leadership Team, bringing a financial and commercial lens to strategic decisions, growth planning and investment prioritisation.
· Coach, develop and stabilise the Finance team through a period of significant change, protecting morale and people’s wellbeing.
This is a role for someone who is energised by the idea of reshaping a finance function while stepping up as a commercial and strategic voice for the business. You will bring the technical grounding of a qualified accountant with operational leadership experience, combined with the commercial instincts of someone who wants to shape business decisions - not just report on them. You can see the bigger picture and can work as part of a cohesive Leadership Team to drive company growth and strategy whilst keeping the fundamentals of Finance - reporting, control and compliance - running like clockwork.
· To be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with a minimum of 5 years post-qualification experience.
· Significant finance leadership experience, including full ownership of month-end, reporting and financial control.
· A track record of leading and developing a finance team through a period of process change or transformation, with people development and wellbeing as genuine priorities.
· Genuine AI curiosity plus experience leading any system or tool implementation - this is core to the role, not a nice-to-have.
· Strong commercial acumen: experience owning or heavily influencing pricing, margin and client/product profitability decisions.
· The ability to work cross-departmentally, diagnosing root causes of upstream errors and building the handoff standards and accountability that prevent them recurring.
· Confidence operating at Leadership Team level and partnering effectively with a COO: comfortable presenting, challenging and influencing strategic decisions, not just executing them.
· The tenacity and self-management to deliver a rebuild-and-transform agenda while keeping day-to-day financial control tight throughout.
· Experience in an IT Managed Services, MSP or similar project-and-recurring-revenue business model.
· A genuine, hands-on interest in AI tools and automation - you have already used them to remove manual work in a finance context.
· Experience operating in high growth environments where speed and ownership matter.
We chose you not just for the technical finance capability, but for the right mindset: ownership, commercial instinct, transformation driven - to see Finance as a growth lever rather than a back-office cost.
Together, we will build a Finance function that matches the ambition of the business it supports.
