Role: Senior Finance Officer Location: DFYNE HQ, 1 Forrest Gate, Uddingston, G71 5PG Work Location: Onsite About You: Are you someone who loves getting into the detail while still seeing the bigger financial picture? Do you enjoy turning numbers into meaningful insight, spotting trends, strengthening controls, and ensuring everything balances exactly as it should?

About the role

DFYNE Your Career: First off, it's best I introduce myself (person behind the keyboard here). It’s not the norm on a job advert, but I think it’s important you get introduced to who you might be working with for a long time early on. I'm Luca, Chief Financial Officer at DFYNE, and I'm looking for someone who can help us continue building a world-class finance function as we scale globally. This isn't a traditional management accountant role where you'll only focus on month-end reporting from a distance. We're looking for someone who takes ownership of accurate and timely management accounts while remaining hands-on across accounts payable, fixed asset management, lease accounting, financial controls, and commercial analysis. You'll be responsible for ensuring financial information is reliable, insightful, and delivered on time, whilst maintaining strong processes that keep the day-to-day finance operation running smoothly. You'll partner with teams across the business, challenge costs where appropriate, identify risks and opportunities, and support the continued growth of DFYNE through sound financial management.

Manage Right-of-Use (ROU) asset schedules and lease liabilities in accordance with relevant accounting standards (IFRS 16 / FRS 102), ensuring monthly lease interest and depreciation journals are accurately posted. Review purchase invoices and CapEx requests to ensure correct capitalisation treatment versus operational expense (OpEx).
