Full job description

๐Ÿ’ฌ Accurx is solving healthcare productivity for the NHS.

For decades, the NHS has struggled with fragmented systems that make simple tasks feel impossible. At Accurx, weโ€™re changing that by building a single, system-wide platform that helps every patient get gold-standard, efficient, and joined-up care.

What started as a way for GPs to text a patient has now evolved into an all-in-one digital toolkit used by 98% of GP practices.

Our platform now powers Total Triage to manage patient demand, and Self-Book, which lets patients schedule their own appointments in seconds. Weโ€™ve automated routine care with Patient Questionnaires for long-term conditions, while Accumail finally allows staff-to-staff communication to happen instantly across different care settings. Weโ€™re now pushing the boundaries of the consultation itself with Accurx Scribe, our AI-powered note-taker that drafts medical notes in real-time.

Weโ€™re not just shipping features. Weโ€™re giving clinicians their time back and ensuring every patient journey is as smooth as it should be.


The challenges youโ€™ll solve as our Interim Head of Finance

Our finance function continues to evolve, and we are looking for a driven finance leader to step in for a 12-month maternity cover, to keep our momentum going and materially upgrade how finance supports our commercial teams. You will run the core finance engine to a high standard, while taking this window of opportunity to raise the bar on commercial reporting, providing real margin insight, and ensuring finance has a genuine seat at the table in commercial decision-making.

  • Elevating the finance function: Moving beyond just keeping the lights on to fundamentally changing what "good" looks like for us and raising the bar in our reporting capability.

  • Driving trading insights: Developing core trading metrics and improving the speed, quality, and usefulness of commercial reporting to give leadership clear visibility of progress and risk.

  • Running the core engine: Overseeing all accounting, financial operations, treasury, and compliance, while managing the annual audit, budget, and quarterly forecasts.

  • Commercial business partnering: Acting as the lead finance partner to the commercial team by embedding yourself in planning and influencing decisions, rather than just reporting on them after the fact.

  • Margin and cost optimisation: Owning key trading initiatives focused on margin improvement

  • Automating for the future: Working alongside our data team to automate reporting through our data infrastructure and transition away from a reliance on spreadsheets.

  • Team leadership: Managing and guiding an established, high-performing team of two direct reports (FP&A Manager and Finance Ops Manager), helping them increase their business impact.


You should apply if...

  • You have proven experience operating autonomously at a Finance Director, Head of Finance, or senior FP&A level, including line management of a finance team.

  • Prior experience in an interim role where you've left a high-performing function even better than you found it.

  • You are a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent).

  • You have a strong track record as a genuine business partner to commercial or trading functions, with specific examples of influencing decisions through financial insight.

  • You have experience working within a mature-stage B2B SME, ideally in a fast-growing, PE/VC-backed business scaling between ยฃ30m and ยฃ200m.

  • You are comfortable taking full ownership of the complete finance remit, spanning accounting, treasury, compliance, audit, and FP&A.

  • You have experience collaborating with data teams to build, improve, and automate commercial reporting systems.

  • You are a driver, not a passenger who can operate with minimal direction

Whatโ€™s in it for you?

Youโ€™ll join a high-performing team on a mission to solve healthcare productivity, building a platform used by around 300k NHS staff every week, supporting the care of over 50 million NHS patients every year. We set a high bar, move fast, and give people the ownership and support to do the best work of their careers

  • Salary DOE/Competitive

  • Benefits to suit you: adjust your healthcare cover, your pension or life insurance, whatever stage youโ€™re at in life

  • Built for collaboration: We are an office-first culture and ask that youโ€™re in our (dog-friendly) Shoreditch office for a minimum of 3 days a week

  • Close to our users: Regular hackathons, plus dedicated time to visit GP practices and other healthcare settings to see first-hand how our products are used

  • Time off: Youโ€™ll get 28 days of holiday (plus bank holidays) and up to 4 weeks to work from anywhere per year

  • Support at home: We offer enhanced parental leave, fertility support and parental loss support

  • We have our very own chefs: Free healthy breakfasts, snacks and lunches, plus a weekly sweet treat
