Group Financial Controller

Job Posted: a month ago

Salary: £ 80,000 - 100,000 / Annum
Job Type: Permanent
Location: Rawdon

Expire in: 20 hours

Job Description

Our client is a privately owned, multi-site group with turnover in the £50m–£100m range, operating across three entities - each currently on separate finance systems - and actively acquiring. The business has grown quickly and is now investing seriously in the professionalisation of its finance function: stronger controls, scalable processes, and the right leadership to support the next phase.

 This is where you come in.

 The Role

 Reporting to the CFO, the Group Financial Controller will take ownership of financial control across the group, bringing rigour, structure and confidence to a business that has the commercial momentum to match its ambitions. You'll lead a finance team of around five, plus resource at recently acquired subsidiaries, and work closely with the Board and senior leadership on everything from month end to acquisition integration.

 The business is also mid-way through an ERP selection process - a genuine opportunity to shape the system infrastructure from the ground up, rather than inherit someone else's decisions.

 The CFO is commercially sharp and sets high standards. This is a great role for somebody who wants to be challenged and join a business through an exiting growth phase with a clear end goal.

Full ownership of group month-end close and multi-entity consolidations
Board financial reporting and balance sheet ownership
Oversight of stock, WIP, provisions, debtors and creditors

Fully qualified (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) - practice background, ideally Top 10 or Big 4, preferred
Proven track record in a senior group financial control role across multiple entities
Manufacturing or operationally intensive sector experience advantageous
Strong technical accounting - someone who genuinely enjoys getting into the detail
Confident communicator with Board-level exposure
The kind of person who builds things properly, not just maintains themPackage

Salary: £80,000 – £100,000
Hybrid working with regular on-site presence in Leeds
Full-time, permanentThe Opportunity
 A well-capitalised, cash-generative business. A CFO who will back you. A finance function being built for scale. And an ERP project that needs someone with the experience to get it right. For the right FC, this is a role with real substance - and real influence.
