About Us

The Paul Gough Holdings Group operates a global portfolio of businesses across healthcare, media, AI, and property investment – including PhysioFunnels, PaulAI, Paul Gough Physio Rooms and PAG ESTATES – as well as US entities.

We’re seeking an experienced Finance Manager to take charge of our day-to-day UK financial operations and coordinate with our UK and US accounting partners. You’ll ensure the numbers are accurate, the books are clean, and management reports are produced to a high standard – so the CEO can make fast, confident decisions.

Your Role

• UK Finance Oversight: Manage accounts, cash flow, payroll, and compliance across multiple UK entities.
• Liaise With US Accountants: Work with our outsourced partners to reconcile US data and produce consolidated reports for the CEO.
• Management Reporting: Create monthly management accounts, cash flow reports, and financial dashboards for leadership.
• Tax and Compliance: Coordinate PAYE, and corporation tax filings with external accountants in the UK.
• Property Portfolio: Track rental income, expenses, and intercompany transactions for UK and overseas properties.
• Budgeting and Forecasting: Support the CEO with forward planning, forecasting, and financial modelling.
• Process Improvement: Maintain financial controls and ensure systems (QuickBooks) are running efficiently.

Ideal Background

• Qualified or part-qualified (ACCA / CIMA / AAT Level 4 minimum).
• 5+ years of hands-on experience managing accounts for an SME or group of companies.
• Strong understanding of bookkeeping, payroll, and reporting processes.
• Confident with QuickBooks and Google Sheets.
• Organised, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple deadlines.
• Bonus: experience supporting a founder-led business or exposure to acquisitions.

Why You’ll Love This Role

You’ll be joining a high-growth, entrepreneurial company – not a corporate finance department. You’ll get variety, autonomy, and a direct line to leadership decisions that make a visible impact. Every month, you’ll see the tangible results of your work as we grow across the UK and US.

Package

£40,000 to £50,000 base salary dependant on experience, pro-rata
