Financial Controller

We’re working with a high-growth manufacturing business seeking a commercially minded Financial Controller to play a pivotal role in their next phase of expansion.

Reporting directly to the MD, you’ll be a key member of the senior leadership team – providing financial insight, owning reporting and forecasting, and helping shape strategic decisions at board level.

Key Responsibilities:

• Full ownership of group reporting, month-end close and consolidation across multiple entities

• Cash flow management, forecasting and scenario planning

• Building and maintaining financial models for strategic decision-making

• Partnering with the MD on investment cases, capex planning and long-term forecasting

• Managing and developing a small but growing finance team

• Leading process improvements and supporting finance system upgrades

• Preparation of board packs and commentary, with regular input into strategic planning

Who You Are:

• Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA)

• Background in manufacturing or industrial sectors

• Strong experience with group consolidation and multi-entity environments

• Proven skills in cash flow forecasting and commercial modelling

• Confident communicator with the ability to influence at MD/Board level

• Hands-on, adaptable, and excited by change

Why This Role?

• Direct influence on strategic decisions alongside the MD

• Join a business in high-growth mode with M&A potential

• Autonomy to shape the finance function

• Future progression into an FD role as the business continues to scale
