About this Finance Director role at Togather

Togather · Onsite · London, England, United Kingdom

Togather are the team at the heart of great events.

We’re a founder-led company of 50+ event specialists working across some of the largest and most exciting events in the UK.

Our Marketplace supports both B2B and B2C customers to handpick standout suppliers across street food, drink and venues for private events, from large-scale summer and Christmas parties to regular office lunches for clients including Spotify, Netflix & BBC.

Live partners with organisers of large-scale public events, using our 360 tech and industry expertise to curate and deliver exceptional food and drink experiences that also drive commercial results for our clients. From major festivals, stadium fanzones and cultural celebrations, we work hand in hand with client teams to deliver exceptional guest experience for the likes of GALA festival, Rock Oyster, Hill Dickinson Stadium and Pride in London.

Internally, we’re proud to have been recognised by Tempo and the Startups 100 Awards as one of the UK’s best places to work. We care deeply about building an ambitious, supportive and high-performing team.

We started life 10 years ago as Feast It, a two-person marketplace launched from a kitchen table - and today, over 10 million guests a year attend a Togather-powered event. Across every project, our mission remains the same:

To make events better for everyone.

The Role:

We are at the point where finance needs to grow up with the business. We run across three engines: a Marketplace at CM2 profitability, a high-growth Live business including a major Live Nation profit-share partnership, and proprietary supply we own and operate, including Field Vision Bars, which we acquired this year. Serious money moves through us now. We are building towards full-year profitability and real exit optionality over the next 18 months or so. We want a finance leader who can take us there.

This is the most senior finance seat in the business. You will own the full group profit-and-loss and the financial strategy that sits behind it. Our finance function has grown function-by-function rather than by design, and your job is to bring it together and raise the bar, across two businesses, a major partnership and the path to a possible sale.

You will run a clean, timely close and build the kind of financial infrastructure an acquirer expects to see. But this is not just a controls job. You will own working capital strategy across our different revenue cycles, shape capital and treasury decisions, partner with the commercial leaders on margin and pricing, and be the person who turns our numbers into a story for the board and a future process. We will bring in a finance assistant underneath you so the transactional work is off your desk and your time goes where it matters.

You will report to the founders and sit on the leadership team. How far this goes is genuinely up to you.

You will

  • Own the group P&L across Live, Marketplace and Field Vision Bars, with consistent event-level margin visibility
  • Run a clean, timely month-end close and build exit-grade, board-ready reporting by default
  • Own working capital strategy: factoring, facilities and payment-terms across our seasonal, multi-entity cash cycles
  • Lead financial planning, budgeting and the single source of truth for targets
  • Prepare the business for audit, due diligence and a possible future process
  • Partner commercially with the founders and leadership on pricing, margin and big decisions
  • Build and shape the finance team beneath you, starting with a finance assistant to own the transactional desk
  • Hold our advisors and tooling to account, and build a systems-first, AI-native function

Requirements

You are:

  • A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), most likely with an audit or practice background early on
  • An experienced finance leader: FC stepping up to FD, an existing FD, or a Head of Finance ready for full ownership
  • Genuinely commercial. You turn numbers into a recommendation, not just a report
  • Strong technically: clean close, working capital, cash flow, controls
  • Comfortable as the most senior finance person in the room, holding the bar with advisors, the team and the board
  • Energised by a fast-paced, high-growth business where the function is still being built
  • Systems-first and keen to use automation and AI to build something modern

Lovely to have:

  • Experience taking a business through an acquisition, sale or fundraise (either side of the table)
  • Events, hospitality or another seasonal, high-volume, complex business
  • Multi-entity or group accounting: intra-group recharges, consolidation
  • Profit-share or partnership accounting

About Togather

Togather started life in 2017 as a booking platform for people to book street food caterers for their birthday parties and weddings. Since then, we have grown to become the UK’s biggest events platform for food, drink, venues, photographers and so much more.

Using a unique combination of algorithm-led technology and the expertise of our dedicated and passionate team, we’re here to help people make amazing memories on some of the biggest and best days of their lives. Whether they’re planning the whole-company summer party, hosting an epic dinner party, or running an entire festival, we can - and do - help with all of it. We’re all about building the technology to unlock those “oh-wow” moments for everyone, no matter if they’ve hosted hundreds of events before or if this is their first foray into the planning world.

Of course, none of this would be possible without our amazing community of partners, who we handpick from across the country. We’re here scouting independent photographers from Scotland to Sheppey, putting small-time cake makers in front of big brands, and helping the likes of Nobu, Bao and Honest Burger turn their big operations into bite size, event-friendly options. Naturally, that means there’s quite a bit of food tasting to be done in the office and free tickets to events are a regular Togather perk!

As for the people and companies we work with? Think everyone from Amazon, Nike, and London Pride, to Tom Cruise, Star Wars, and Taylor Swift. Within the office, we recently came #7 in the Startups 100 Awards and have been named in the top 15 in Tempo's 50 Best Places To Work. Our team truly love and care about what they do, which makes working here that much easier.

If you’re ambitious, care about making memories and want to make an impact everyday, you’ll fit right in and we would love to hear from you.
