Financial Controller

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a commercially focused and hands-on Financial Controller to lead the finance function of a growing business. This is a key leadership role, responsible for building a high-performing finance team and supporting the organisation through its next phase of scaling and strategic growth.

You will take ownership of all aspects of financial reporting, forecasting, compliance, cash management, and treasury, while also driving improvements through new systems and process automation. With responsibility for a small team, including a trainee management accountant and an accounts assistant, you will provide leadership, mentoring, and support to ensure accurate reporting, robust controls, and forward-thinking strategy.

This is a highly visible position, working closely with senior leadership to provide financial insight and guidance on investment decisions, performance monitoring, and future growth opportunities. You will also play a key role in ERP system implementation, process improvements, and preparing the business for potential investment or future transactions.

We are looking for a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with experience leading a finance function, ideally within a high-growth SME or scale-up environment. Strong expertise in cash management, treasury, and foreign exchange is important, alongside proven experience in systems implementation and process automation. You should bring excellent technical and commercial reporting skills, confidence in presenting at board level, and the ability to act as a trusted business partner to senior stakeholders.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a finance leader who enjoys combining strategic influence with hands-on delivery, in a role where you can make a real impact on performance, growth, and long-term value creation
