Financial Controller

Ever felt ready to take the reins properly?

This is one of those roles where you can.

This is a full-time Financial Controller position with hybrid working, reporting into an experienced FD who knows how to build, not just manage. You’ll be stepping into a genuine “first FC” role with the backing, autonomy and headroom to make it your own.

You’ll be joining a business that’s not standing still. They’ve already delivered significant growth over the past few years and have no intention of slowing down. That momentum creates opportunity real influence, real visibility, and real progression if you want it.

As Financial Controller, you’ll take ownership of the finance function. That means leading month-end, managing and developing a capable team, and driving improvements across reporting, controls and processes. You’ll also play a key role in budgeting, forecasting and cashflow, while partnering with the FD on strategic projects as the business continues to scale.

The culture here matters. It’s collaborative, ambitious and grounded. People are trusted to get on with things, ideas are listened to, and there’s a genuine focus on development. The FD is commercially sharp, supportive, and invested in helping you grow not someone who’ll sit over your shoulder.

You’ll need a solid background in financial or management accounting, ideally within a fast-paced or growing environment. Experience leading or mentoring others would help, but it’s more about your mindset you’ll need the confidence to step up, challenge and influence.

What’s on offer:

  • Salary up to £70,000 plus bonus
  • Full-time role with hybrid working
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • A genuine opportunity to shape a function and grow with the business
  • Clear development and progression as the company continues to expand
