The Company

The business is a founder-led, premium boutique fitness brand with studios across London. It is built on the belief that people remember how you made them feel. Every class, every studio and every interaction is designed around that. The members are at the heart of everything, and the team behind them is close-knit, ambitious and genuinely invested in the experience they create.

The Role

This is a visible, high-trust finance role in a well-loved consumer brand. The Finance Manager works as a close partner to a part-time Head of Finance, who shapes the analysis while the Finance Manager runs the models and the monthly cycle. Bookkeeping, reconciliations and statutory accounts sit with an external accounting firm. That leaves the role free to focus on forecasting, analysis and the processes that keep the business running.

• Produce budgets, forecasts and long-term plans, and maintain the budget and forecasting model.
• Pull and manipulate booking and sales data from the studio management system in Excel, and turn it into weekly and monthly sales and KPI reporting.
• Prepare the month-end reporting pack and P&L variance commentary from the management accounts supplied by the external accountants.
• Track spend against budget and forecast, flagging risks and opportunities early so there are no surprises.
• Prepare monthly payroll for a team of around 70–80 employed and freelance instructors. This includes reconciling freelancer invoices to hours worked before the payroll goes to the external accountants.
• Oversee AP, including processing supplier invoices, gaining approvals and preparing the monthly supplier run.
• Maintain the contract database. Watch for renewals and price increases, and challenge suppliers to protect margin.
• Manage expenses in Pleo, chasing the team for receipts and coding. Look after credit card ownership.
• Own a monthly calendar of around 30 deadlines across payroll, expenses, freelancers, supplier payments and reporting.
• Business partner across People, Marketing, Operations and Member Experience, providing analysis to support decisions.
• Support business case preparation for new opportunities and initiatives.
• Support the management and control of stock and inventory so that it is accurately tracked and valued.
• Act as the key finance contact for internal and external enquiries.
• Work closely with the external accounting firm so that finance operations run smoothly.
• Contribute to ad hoc projects, analysis and process improvement.
