Job Description

What if your next Finance Controller role gave you the chance to shape the finance function and play a key role in the next phase of growth? This No. 1 finance position does just that ...

Working directly with the Managing Director and acting as a trusted financial sounding board, you will be joining a growing entrepreneurial SME business on track for in excess of 50% growth this year followed by a doubling of turnover in 2027.

Historically the business has been supported by a fractional CFO focussed primarily on compliance and oversight but, as the company has grown, senior leadership now seek a full-time finance leader who can bring structure, greater visibility and commercial insight to the organisation.

The incoming Finance Controller will inherit a small finance team and a genuine blank canvas - the opportunity to take ownership of the finance function and help build the financial structure required to support better decision making as the business continues to scale.

This is a fast-moving and entrepreneurial business where individuals are encouraged to take ownership, contribute ideas and improve processes.

For an ambitious Finance Controller who enjoys improving systems and working closely with decision makers to shape the future direction of the business, this could be a hugely rewarding next step.

Role Overview

Lead the finance function across a growing group of businesses, acting as a trusted finance partner to the Managing Director and senior leadership team
Produce monthly management accounts with clear commentary on performance and key drivers
Introduce structured budgeting, forecasting and financial planning processes
Develop rolling cashflow forecasting and improve working capital visibility
Work collaboratively with operational, sales and purchasing teams, providing commercial financial insight to support pricing, margins and business decisions
Strengthen financial systems, reporting tools and financial controls as the business scales
Manage and develop a small finance team
Build and maintain relationships with external advisors and banking partners.
The Ideal Candidate

Experience as a Finance Manager, Financial Controller, Finance Controller or similar senior finance role
Comfortable taking ownership of a finance function within a growing SME environment
Strong background in management accounts, forecasting and financial reporting
Confident managing and developing a small finance team
Able to communicate financial insight clearly to non-finance stakeholders
Experience in product-led, manufacturing, FMCG or stock-driven businesses is beneficial but by no means essential.
What's on Offer

Salary up to £60,000
33 days holiday including bank holidays
Flexible working hours with core office hours
Opportunity to build and shape the finance function
Direct exposure to senior leadership and strategic decisions
Collaborative and entrepreneurial working environment.
