This national services business in Leamington Spa are looking to appoint an experienced Financial Controller to take ownership for a team of 10 who are going through a period of transformation and change.

This role will see you provide valuable commercial support to high-value contract customers, robust financial controls to many sites and the provision of management accounts (incl. detailed variance analysis, KPI reports and commentary) for senior operational staff – information used to directly inform important commercial business decisions on the contract.

Ideally, you will:

• Be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with demonstrable experience in a similar commercial finance role – preferably within an growing SME environment
• Have extensive experience of transformation and change
• Be able to demonstrate instances in which you have been able to add direct value to your business through cost-saving initiatives and general business / reporting improvements

In return, you will:

• Work in a senior management capacity for a fast growing established business
• Complete autonomy in your role, organising your own workload and generating / leading your own projects
• Be encouraged to exercise your commercial business acumen in terms of increasing margins and improving business
• Gain mentoring from an experienced Finance Director, putting you in a prime position for this step up in future

This operationally-focused senior finance role is a great position for a talented, commercial qualified Manager to test their business and value-adding skills in an environment that will reward this type of success with clear progression opportunities.
