About the Role

At CRAZY MAPLE STUDIO, a Most Loved Workplace® certified employer in the Entertainment space, Stories that transcend boundaries, powered by creativity and cutting-edge technology..

At fin-house, we're fuelling startups, scaleups and SMEs with awesome finance teams. The problem: The current go-to for start-ups and SMEs is outsourcing their finance function and team to accountancy firms who are very far removed from the business and often simply produce numbers without context. Our solution: At fin-house, we deliver 'in-house'. This means our clients will have a team IN their business, providing proactive insight, advice and commercial support, enabling them to make the right decisions at the right time. We make sure our clients get the finance function they need, when they need it, seamlessly integrated into their business. Our fin-leads head up the finance function across their portfolio, leading teams and embedding finance at the heart of each organisation. They drive forecasting, planning and commercial insight, connecting day-to-day performance with long-term strategy. Working closely with founders and leadership teams, they challenge thinking, assess risk and shape decisions with clarity and confidence. At fin-house, our fin-leads turn finance into a true growth engine - building high-performing teams and translating ambition into sustainable, strategic impact.
