Financial Controller

This is not just another Financial Controller role.

You won’t be stepping into someone else’s shoes or inheriting a finance function that’s been ticking over for years. Quite the opposite.

This is a newly created role, because the business has grown – recently acquiring a new entity – and now needs someone to take the lead on pulling their finance setup into something a bit more joined-up and future-proof.

The newly acquired business is going to need a bit more structure, a bit more consistency, and someone who can turn numbers into insight – not just reports into PDFs.

Here’s what’s on your plate:

  • Leading the finance integration of a newly acquired business
  • Producing management accounts that actually help people make decisions
  • Business partnering with each site – which means building real relationships, not just emailing spreadsheets
  • Implementing sensible financial controls and processes
  • Managing a small but capable transactional finance team
  • Translating finance into something stakeholders can act on

What you’ll probably need:

  • You’re either an experienced Financial Controller, or a Senior Management Accountant who’s been acting like one anyway
  • You’ve got strong commercial acumen – you understand finance isn’t just about reporting, it’s about driving the business forward
  • You’re comfortable with a bit of ambiguity – because this isn’t a role where everything’s already built for you

What’s in it for you?

Autonomy. The chance to shape something new. And the opportunity to work across a group of businesses where your voice will actually be heard. You’ll work directly with leadership, have a clear seat at the table, and play a big part in where this group goes next. There’s growth happening. They just need someone who can help bring the finance side up to speed.

Curious? You don’t need a perfect CV to start the conversation. Let’s talk – worst case, you’ll know what else is out there. Apply now or get in touch for more details.
