Job Description

Financial Controller
Weldon, Northants (Office Based)
£65,000 - 85,000 per annum + Bonus & Benefits
Permanent, Full Time
The Opportunity:
An established and growing manufacturing services business is seeking an ambitious Financial Controller to play a key role within its senior leadership team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified (or finalist) senior accountant who is looking for far more than a traditional finance role. Alongside taking ownership of the finance function, you will work closely with operational and commercial teams to improve business performance, enhance reporting, develop business systems and help drive strategic growth.
The business is entering an exciting phase of development, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to influence change, improve processes and to potentially progress into the role of FD within the next 18 months to 2 years.
The Role:
Reporting directly to the Directors, you will take responsibility for the company’s financial management whilst leading improvements across reporting, systems and operational processes.
Key responsibilities include:
  * Producing accurate monthly management accounts
  * Preparing budgets, forecasts and cash flow projections
  * Maintaining strong financial controls and balance sheet integrity
  * Supporting statutory reporting, audits and compliance requirements
  * Providing financial insight to support strategic business decisions
  * Developing financial KPIs and performance reporting
  * Leading the ongoing development of ERP and finance systems
  * Identifying opportunities to automate processes and improve efficiency
  * Improving reporting, data quality and business information
  * Working closely with operational and commercial teams to drive continuous improvement
  * Supporting investment decisions and business growth initiatives
  * Managing relationships with software providers and external stakeholders
About You:
We’re looking for an ambitious finance professional who enjoys improving businesses as much as producing financial reports. Someone who is looking for clear achievable progression into a Directorship role.
You will ideally have:
  * ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification (or be in the final stages of qualification)
  * Previous Financial Controller or Senior Finance experience
  * Manufacturing or relevant service-based business experience
  * Strong management accounting, budgeting and forecasting skills
  * Experience of ERP or integrated finance systems
  * Excellent commercial awareness
  * The ability to influence stakeholders across all areas of a business
  * A proactive, inquisitive and solutions-focused approach
You’ll be comfortable challenging existing processes, identifying improvements and building strong working relationships across the business.
What’s on Offer?
This position offers genuine long-term career development within a growing manufacturing services business where you’ll have the opportunity to shape both the finance function and wider business operations.
If you’re an ambitious finance professional looking for a role that combines financial leadership, business improvement and strategic influence, we’d love to hear from you.
