Role Overview

Candidate Requirements
We are looking for an exceptionally well-trained and experienced Financial Controller who possesses strong technical experience with sound commercial judgment. We’re open to applicants operating at a similar level currently, or seeking a step up, perhaps from Finance Manager or a highly experienced Assistant Accountant.
We’re seeking a candidate who feels as comfortable with management reporting as they do with statutory accounting, budgeting, forecasting, and benchmarking. Our client is open to both part/fully professionally qualified applicants (ACA/ACCA/CIMA), or with very strong vocational experience (QBE), and/or AAT.
What’s on Offer
A great starting salary with enhanced benefits, a hybrid/adaptable working arrangement, and a genuine opportunity to progress to Finance Director with a highly successful and respected business.
Interested? Please contact Elle Benjamin in confidence, quoting reference EB9785.
