We're growing. Come and do great work, on your terms.
A fractional finance role for someone who wants meaningful, high-impact work without the constraints of a full-time job.
WHY NOW
Since Ellie joined the team in November, we've hit our stride. The work has been brilliant and the pipeline has kept coming, so we're looking for the right person to grow alongside us.
We work with ambitious, growth-stage businesses, helping them get their financial foundations right, whether that's preparing for investment, navigating due diligence, or building the reporting infrastructure that gives founders and investors real confidence in the numbers.
Demand is strong. Particularly around AI and automation, which is becoming a thread running through almost every client engagement we have. So this is the right moment to bring someone in.
THE WORK
No two months look the same, but here's a flavour of what we're doing right now:
Event readiness - Financial model builds, diligence preparation, KPI frameworks and data room support for businesses approaching investment or exit.
Ongoing monthly support - Board packs, investor reporting, cashflow forecasting and working capital analysis for businesses that have already raised and need a consistent finance partner.
Process improvement and automation - Tightening up finance processes, reducing manual effort, and building smarter reporting, increasingly using AI tools to do more with less.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
You'll be a strong fit if you:
- Are comfortable in Excel and Power Query (Power BI experience is a bonus)
- Can build reporting from scratch and turn messy data into something a non-finance founder can actually use
- Have experience in FP&A, financial control, or finance business partnering, ideally in SME or PE-backed environments
- Are genuinely curious about AI and automation, and want to bring that into your client work
- Can be on-site with clients in the North West when it matters
You don't need to have done fractional work before. But you do need to be someone who takes ownership, communicates well, and cares about the quality of what you deliver.
THE FRACTIONAL MODEL
This role is designed to fit around your life. Whether you have your own clients already, a part-time employed role, or you're simply looking for something more flexible than a traditional finance job, the fractional model gives you that.
Typically 1 to 3 days per week equivalent, flexed around client needs. You'll have variety, genuine impact, and the kind of work that actually stretches you, without being tied to one desk, one business, or one set of problems.
HOW TO APPLY
If this sounds like it could be a fit, we'd love to hear from you.
Send a short note to hello@summit17.co.uk telling us about a reporting or modelling project you've led, and include any examples of dashboards or packs you've built, and what AI tooling you're currently using and how. No lengthy CV required, just show us what you can do.
