Group Financial Controller
Youโre running the numbers. But whoโs counting on you?
Youโre probably in a senior finance role already. Juggling reports. Mentoring juniors. Putting out fires. But how often do you get to genuinely shape the finance function, not just maintain it?
This group financial controller role gives you that opportunity.
Youโll be joining a financial services group with seven entities, where youโll take the lead on all things financial control. That means owning the management accounts (including consolidations), driving process improvements, and making sure the board has rock-solid data to make commercial decisions.
The salary is ยฃ70,000 to ยฃ75,000 depending on experience. Youโll be based out of modern offices in East Leeds, with hybrid working available – 3 days in the office, 2 from wherever works best for you. Itโs a full-time, permanent role, 37.5 hours a week.
Youโll manage a team of six (qualified and non-qualified), across purchase ledger, sales ledger, cash, and general accounting. Youโll also be the go-to for external audit, tax, payroll, capital adequacy reporting and systems implementation. Youโll work closely with FP&A and help the group move towards more automation and better reporting.
What youโll need:
- Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with 5+ years in a senior finance role
- Strong experience consolidating group accounts
- Confident managing a small team
- Technically sound in UK GAAP, tax, and Excel
- Composure under pressure – youโll be dealing with month-end deadlines, auditors, and regulators
- Bonus if youโve worked in financial services or used Sage 200, but not a deal-breaker
Youโll get 26 daysโ holiday plus bank hols, a discretionary bonus of up to 30%, a strong pension scheme, private healthcare, and the chance to make your mark at group level.
If youโre ready to step into a role with visibility, impact, and autonomy, this group financial controller position could be exactly what youโre looking for.
