Are you a Financial Controller who wants to be closer to the decisions that actually shape how a business performs?
You’ll report into a hugely experienced Group Finance Director and play an important part in the day-to-day running of the site. It’s not purely a reporting role. Alongside the core finance responsibilities, the position involves working closely with operational teams to help them understand performance, improve efficiency and make better commercial decisions.
The role:
You’ll take ownership of the management accounting and financial performance of the Hull site, supported by a small finance team.
You’ll also work closely with colleagues across production, operations and senior management.
Responsibilities will include:
- Producing monthly management accounts and overseeing the month-end process
- Forecasting, budgeting and variance analysis
- Preparing financial reports and performance commentary for senior management
- Maintaining daily and weekly performance dashboards
- Supporting operational teams with financial insight and analysis
- Contributing to process improvements and cost control initiatives
- Supporting audit, VAT and financial controls
- Playing a key role in the implementation of a new ERP system
This is a role where the successful person will need to build strong relationships across the business and be comfortable explaining financial information to non-finance colleagues.
The Business:
The company operates in a specialist manufacturing environment and has built long-standing relationships with a number of key customers across sectors such as HVAC, automotive and industrial filtration.
Many of these partnerships have been in place for over a decade, reflecting a focus on quality, reliability and long-term collaboration.
The Hull site is a busy operational environment, and the finance team plays a key role in supporting performance and decision-making across the business.
What they’re looking for:
The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), although candidates with relevant experience in a similar role will also be considered.
You’ll likely have experience working in a manufacturing, engineering or operational business and be comfortable working closely with non-finance teams.
Package:
- Up to £65,000 salary DOE
- £8,000 car allowance (with company car option)
- Private medical cover (BUPA)
- Critical illness cover
- 24 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Discretionary bonus
- Participation in the Employee Ownership Trust structure
The role is primarily site-based in Hull, although some flexibility may be possible once you are established in the role.
