Finance Manager

At Flipdish, we’re turning the tables in favour of independent restaurant and takeaway owners by offering them powerful, simple-to-use tech solutions backed by real human support. Everything we do is designed to make running a restaurant satisfyingly simple in a world that’s anything but.

You’ll join Flipdish’s Finance team, helping ensure our finance operations are accurate, controlled, scalable, and ready to support a growing multi-entity business. You’ll partner closely with Finance leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to own month-end close, strengthen controls, manage tax compliance, and support reporting requirements across the group.

Success in this role looks like reliable month-end delivery, stronger financial processes, clear controls, and a well-supported finance team that can operate with pace and accuracy in a changing environment.

• Own month-end close, including monthly accounts and consolidation preparation across multiple entities.
• Manage and develop the finance team, including three direct reports, creating clarity, accountability, and high performance.
• Lead ad hoc finance projects, including system improvements, process improvements, grants, and support initiatives.
• Review and strengthen finance policies, procedures, and controls to improve consistency and reduce risk.
• Manage end-to-end tax compliance, coordinating filings, deadlines, and payments with the relevant stakeholders.
• Lead the year-end audit process and prepare reporting packs for subsidiary and consolidated accounts.
• Review company costs, identify savings opportunities, and support better financial decision-making.
• Support the ongoing development of group-wide internal controls as Flipdish continues to scale.

• Month-end close is delivered accurately, on time, and with clear supporting documentation across entities.
• Finance procedures, and controls are strengthened, clearly documented, and consistently followed.
• Tax compliance, audit preparation, and reporting packs are managed smoothly with fewer last-minute issues.
• The finance team is well-led, supported, and clear on priorities, ownership, and standards.
• Finance processes become more efficient, scalable, and reliable, with better controls and cost visibility in place.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

• Are a qualified accountant with relevant post-qualification experience.
• Bring strong technical accounting capability and confidence working across monthly accounts, consolidation preparation, audit, tax, and controls.
• Have proven experience leading, managing, or developing a small, high-performing finance team.
• Have working knowledge of tax compliance, including coordinating filings, payments, and deadlines.
• Can show a track record of improving monthly financial processes and making finance operations more efficient.
• Have experience writing, reviewing, and enforcing finance policies and procedures.
• Communicate clearly in writing and verbally, including with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
• Are highly organised, able to prioritise effectively, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, changing environment.
• Are process-oriented, collaborative, proactive, and willing to take ownership without waiting to be told what to do.
• Challenge poor decisions and propose better ways of working.

The following would help you stand out.

• Experience working in a multi-entity or group finance environment.
• Experience supporting year-end audits and preparing subsidiary or consolidated reporting packs.
• Experience leading finance systems, process improvement, controls, or cost-saving projects.

At Flipdish, we’re on the side of independent restaurant and takeaway owners, running busy operations on tight margins with rising costs, staffing challenges, and an increasingly demanding customer base. Our job is to make their lives easier with technology that’s powerful, satisfyingly simple, and backed by real human support.

Our integrated ecosystem, spanning online ordering, marketing, loyalty, point of sale, menu optimisation, and operational automation, helps restaurants grow while staying in control. We’re an AI-first company, and we use it to help our customers get better outcomes, faster ordering, smarter marketing, and smoother operations, so owners and teams can spend more time on what matters.

Inside the company, we value ownership and clarity, with a friendly, people-led culture behind it. We trust our people to help shape what kind of employer Flipdish is, not just follow a script. Transparency is huge for us: we listen to each other, and create the space for people to grow (with balance, not burnout). We’re focused on impact and team energy, not “being seen”. You’ll have meaningful scope, work closely with smart people across teams, and be trusted to make things better as Flipdish scales.
