Financial Controller - SME - #2126031

£70,000 + Attractive Benefits Package

We’re partnering with a highly successful, entrepreneurial financial services business to recruit a Financial Controller as they continue through an exciting period of growth.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join an ambitious and commercially driven organisation with a genuinely strong culture. The business has grown rapidly, has further significant plans ahead, and is looking for a talented finance professional who wants to develop their career alongside that journey.

Reporting into the senior finance leadership team, you’ll take ownership of the financial control environment while playing a key role in developing the finance function as the business scales.

You’ll have responsibility for:

• Financial reporting and month-end ownership
• Management and statutory accounts
• Cash flow and working capital management
• Budgeting, forecasting and financial planning
• Developing robust financial controls and processes
• Supporting audit, tax and regulatory requirements
• Improving systems, reporting and finance processes
• Providing commercial insight to senior stakeholders
• Supporting wider strategic projects as the business continues to grow

This could particularly suit one of two profiles:

A first move from practice — likely ACA/ACCA qualified, commercially minded and looking for the opportunity to take genuine ownership within an entrepreneurial business.

An ambitious Financial Controller/Finance Manager from a start-up, scale-up or high-growth environment who understands the pace, variety and hands-on nature of an evolving finance function.

You’ll need to be comfortable operating in an environment where things move quickly. This isn't a role for someone who simply wants to maintain established processes — there is a real opportunity to build, improve and influence.

The business combines the energy and entrepreneurialism of a growth company with an established track record of success.

You’ll be joining a high-performing business with ambitious growth plans, an excellent culture and a leadership team that genuinely values finance.

For someone with the right ambition, this offers the opportunity to grow your responsibilities and career as the business continues to scale.
