What you'll be doing • Leading the day-to-day finance function and managing a small team. • Owning the monthly management accounts process, reporting and financial insight. • Managing cashflow, forecasting and financial controls. • Leading on audit, statutory reporting and regulatory compliance • Partnering with Directors on performance, profitability and commercial decision-making. • Reviewing and strengthening finance processes to support future growth. What we're looking for • Proven Financial Controller experience within an SME or a subsidiary of an international group. • Strong technical accounting background with experience of audit and statutory reporting. • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, changing environment. • A hands-on approach combined with strong commercial acumen. • Available to start at short notice. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded finance leader who enjoys bringing structure, confidence and clarity during periods of transformation. This could lead to a permanent appointment.
