Location: DFYNE HQ, 1 Forrest Gate, Uddingston, G71 5PG
Work Location: Onsite
About You:
Are you someone who loves getting into the detail while still seeing the bigger financial picture? Do you enjoy turning numbers into meaningful insight, spotting trends, strengthening controls, and ensuring everything balances exactly as it should? Are you equally comfortable preparing management accounts, analysing variances, managing fixed assets, and rolling up your sleeves to process invoices and reconcile supplier accounts?
If you're highly organised, commercially aware, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, DFYNE may be the place for you.
About DFYNE:
A picture paints a thousand words… and we’re sure you don’t want to be sat here reading an essay of corporate “about us” spiel…. Seriously, how’re you able to really get under the skin of what we’re about from a few words on a screen. So why don’t you have a look and see what we’re all about for yourself - www.dfyne.com.
About the role - DFYNE Your Career:
First off, it's best I introduce myself (person behind the keyboard here). It’s not the norm on a job advert, but I think it’s important you get introduced to who you might be working with for a long time early on.
I'm Luca, Chief Financial Officer at DFYNE, and I'm looking for someone who can help us continue building a world-class finance function as we scale globally.
This isn't a traditional management accountant role where you'll only focus on month-end reporting from a distance. We're looking for someone who takes ownership of accurate and timely management accounts while remaining hands-on across accounts payable, fixed asset management, lease accounting, financial controls, and commercial analysis.
You'll be responsible for ensuring financial information is reliable, insightful, and delivered on time, whilst maintaining strong processes that keep the day-to-day finance operation running smoothly. You'll partner with teams across the business, challenge costs where appropriate, identify risks and opportunities, and support the continued growth of DFYNE through sound financial management.
Attitude:
