Financial Controller

We are working with a well-established multi-site business that is looking to appoint a Financial Controller to lead its day-to-day finance operations. This is a senior, hands-on role with responsibility across management reporting, financial control, payroll, and audit, while partnering closely with operational and commercial teams.
