Job Description

Financial Controller

Birmingham | Hybrid               
 £65,000 – £70,000 + Bonus

Following a period of strong growth, an ambitious Birmingham-based business is entering an exciting next phase of its development and is looking to appoint a Financial Controller to play a key role in that journey.

This is a fantastic time to be joining. As the business continues to grow, so too does the need for a finance function that can support increased scale, provide greater insight and continue to develop its controls, processes and reporting.

Working closely with the CFO, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day finance function and lead an established finance team. This is a broad, hands-on role combining financial control, management reporting, budgeting and forecasting, team leadership and commercial finance.

Key responsibilities will include:

Leading and developing an established finance team, with oversight across transactional and operational finance
Taking ownership of the monthly management accounts process, including journals, accruals, prepayments and balance sheet reconciliations
Producing monthly Board reporting across P&L, balance sheet and cash flow, together with meaningful commentary
Leading the budgeting, forecasting and reforecasting processes
Providing departmental analysis, challenging performance against budget and supporting better commercial decision making
Strengthening financial controls and implementing practical improvements as the business continues to scale
Reviewing and improving finance processes to create greater efficiency, accuracy and scalability
Acting as a key business partner to stakeholders across the wider business
Managing the external audit relationship and supporting the statutory reporting process
Supporting treasury and cash management
Providing financial input into commercial initiatives, pricing and new opportunities
Working closely with the CFO on the continued evolution of the finance function

To be considered for this position, you must:

Be a fully qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA accountant
Live within a realistic commuting distance of Birmingham and be comfortable working on a hybrid basis
Have a strong financial accounting and financial control background
Have experience producing and taking ownership of monthly management accounts
Have previous experience managing and developing a finance team
Be comfortable operating in a hands-on Financial Controller role rather than purely reviewing the work of others
Have strong Excel skills and be confident working with financial data
Be commercially aware, with the confidence to challenge stakeholders and improve existing processes
Experience within a privately owned, entrepreneurial or growing commercial organisation would be particularly relevant.

Why Join?:

The timing of this appointment is what makes the opportunity even more interesting. The business has already achieved significant growth and is now moving into its next phase, creating an opportunity for the incoming Financial Controller to join at a point where finance will have an increasingly important role to play.

You'll have direct exposure to the CFO, responsibility for an established team and genuine scope to improve processes, strengthen controls and develop the finance function as the organisation scales
