Job Description
Group Financial Controller, Finance No.1,
£50,000 to £70,000
Loughborough, full time, permanent, office basedIf you are at your best when you have full ownership, pace, and genuine influence, this is a Finance No.1 role where you can steady the ship and build a finance function that keeps up with rapid growth.
This is a lean, high performing, project led SME with a hands on culture, no top heavy structure, and a track record of adding around £1m of turnover year on year. The MD is now hiring a senior finance lead to take full ownership of the finance function and give the leadership team complete confidence that reporting, controls, and cash are in safe hands.
The opportunityYou will run finance end to end, manage a small team of two, and report directly to the MD for top line numbers and work closely with senior operational leadership, ensuring finance supports decisions, planning, and growth rather than simply reporting history.
Scope will cover management accounts, budgeting, forecasting, cashflow, statutory compliance, VAT, and oversight of payroll, with the focus on building a value adding finance function, not just producing numbers.
What you will be owningThis is a hands on leadership role with meaningful autonomy, your focus is clarity, control, and commercial support, including:
Stabilising and strengthening the finance function as the business scales
Leading and developing the finance team
Owning month end close, producing a board pack, and delivering clear insight to drive decisions
Owning cash visibility, forecasting, and day to day financial control, including payments
Overseeing payroll understanding for an in house process supporting around 35 employees
Improving processes, tightening controls, and embedding strong ways of working across the business
Systems wise, Sage 50 experience is useful, exposure to Sift or similar MI tools is a bonus.
What they need from youIdeally you will be coming from a manufacturing, engineering, or similarly operational environment where pace, cash, and delivery matter. You will either already be leading finance in an SME setting, or feel ready to step into a Finance No.1 position with strong exposure to SLT level stakeholders and commercial decision making. You will be comfortable bringing structure, improving processes, and balancing firm financial control with a practical, commercial approach.
Qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIMA), part qualified, or strong QBE profiles will be considered, what matters most is capability and ownership.
Working pattern and packageThis is office based in Loughborough and the role is office based. Core hours are Monday to Thursday 8:00 to 17:00 and Friday 8:00 to 14:00.
Salary is £50,000 to £70,000 depending on experience, plus standard pension, with other benefits discussed where required.
