SKILLS
ABOUT RAY MCCARTHY
I am a Finance Director and Board-level finance leader with over 20 years’ experience operating within contract-led, operationally complex and multi-site businesses across logistics, manufacturing, engineering and infrastructure-adjacent sectors.I work most effectively in environments where strong financial governance, cash discipline and clear visibility of margin and performance are critical. I partner closely with Managing Directors and executive teams as a trusted adviser, combining commercial insight with financial control to support informed decision-making without disrupting established culture.My background includes extensive experience in long-term contract accounting, WIP and margin management, working capital and cashflow leadership, and the development of reporting frameworks that translate complex financial information into clear, practical insight for non-finance stakeholders.I have led and developed finance teams across reporting, FP & A and transactional finance, with a strong track record of strengthening finance functions through improved processes, systems and data. This includes the implementation and optimisation of Power BI, Anaplan and ERP environments to improve reporting quality, consistency and timeliness.Alongside core Finance Director responsibilities, I have supported strategic planning and selective transactional activity where appropriate. This experience informs my approach to governance, discipline and stakeholder management, while remaining firmly grounded in day-to-day operational finance leadership.I am known for a pragmatic, low-ego leadership style and for building strong relationships across finance, commercial and operational teams. I am particularly effective in businesses where contract performance, cash management and clear financial insight underpin sustainable performance.
