Aldenham Estate is a long-established, family-owned business with a diverse portfolio spanning residential and commercial property, London Elstree Aerodrome, Home Farm Glamping, farming, events and sustainable land management. As the Estate continues to evolve, we are looking for an experienced and commercially minded Head of Finance to join the leadership team. This is an opportunity to influence strategic decisions, strengthen commercial performance and modernise the finance function - while remaining close enough to the detail to make a genuine impact.

Commercially curious and pragmatic, you will be comfortable navigating a family-owned, multi-entity environment where everything may not fit neatly into a standard corporate structure. You will be equally confident presenting to Directors, evaluating investments, improving systems and rolling up your sleeves when required. You’ll Likely Bring • ACA, ACCA, CIMA or an equivalent professional qualification • Significant post-qualification experience in a senior finance leadership role • Strong commercial finance expertise spanning budgeting, forecasting, cash flow and investment appraisal • Hands-on experience producing management accounts, Board reporting and financial analysis • Experience operating across a multi-entity structure • Strong knowledge of financial controls, governance and statutory reporting • Experience improving finance systems, reporting and internal controls • Experience implementing or replacing finance platforms • Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills • A pragmatic, collaborative and hands-on approach • Experience within property, estates, hospitality, leisure, aviation, farming or another asset-rich organisation would be valuable. • Knowledge of Sage 50, Re-Leased, partial exemption VAT or cloud-based finance systems would also be beneficial.
