About Prevail and the role
Prevail is a multidisciplinary risk and advisory group that helps governments and businesses navigate the contemporary risk environment as their Complex Mission Partner. We are at an inflexion point, moving from a founder-led, opportunity-driven business into a repeatable, investable platform where the work we deliver today funds the capabilities we are building for tomorrow. The business is currently founder-funded, with no external investors today; over the next twelve months, we intend to raise external investment for the first time with M&A forming a deliberate part of the use of funds - and to roughly double revenue over the following three years through a combination of organic growth and targeted acquisition.
Prevail operates as a group of trading companies, with consolidated reporting currently managed through Xero and Joiin, while financial planning and forecasting remain largely Excel-based. The finance function has a strong operational foundation, overseeing day-to-day finance activity across the group.
We are now looking to appoint a Head of Finance to further develop the function into a more strategic capability, with responsibility for financial planning, capital strategy, commercial performance analysis, investor reporting, and supporting the business through its next phase of growth. This role will also lead the continued development of finance systems, processes, and reporting capabilities, including the effective use of modern tooling and AI to improve insight, control, and decision-making as the organisation scales.
As Head of Finance, you will lead the finance function and be accountable for the business's financial direction. The team will continue to run the close, controls, cash operations, project P&Ls and audit.
We are looking for an experienced, commercially fluent finance leader who can hold a credible conversation with the Board on capital and strategy, read the economics of a contract alongside the commercial team, coach the finance team, and personally champion the use of modern tooling and AI inside the function so the team works smarter rather than simply harder.
