Financial Controller
Thame | Hybrid | £70,000-£80,000
This is a strong opportunity for a hands-on Financial Controller who enjoys getting underneath a growing business rather than simply reporting the numbers after the event.
Joining an established SME within the technology and engineering sector, you'll take ownership of finance while working closely with the senior leadership team. The business has an international footprint and is continuing to grow, creating plenty of scope to improve reporting, tighten processes and provide better commercial insight.
Based in Thame, the role offers hybrid working and would suit someone who enjoys the breadth and influence that comes with an SME environment.
The role
As Financial Controller, you'll lead the day-to-day finance function while becoming a key commercial partner to the wider business.
You'll be responsible for:
- Producing monthly management accounts, budgets and rolling forecasts
- Developing Board reporting, KPIs and management information
- Managing cash flow, working capital and balance sheet controls
- Analysing margins and profitability across customers, products and projects
- Supporting pricing, investment decisions and commercial business cases
- Improving financial systems, processes and reporting automation
- Overseeing AP, AR, credit control and payroll
- Managing year-end, VAT, audit and external adviser relationships
- Supporting international operations and multi-currency accounting
- Developing stronger stock, inventory and operational reporting
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The company operates within technology and engineering, so experience around stock, physical products, manufacturing or project-led environments would be particularly useful.
What we're looking for
You'll ideally be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, although someone approaching qualification with the right experience could also be considered.
- Strong management accounting and financial control experience
- Experience within an SME or similarly hands-on environment
- Good commercial analysis and financial modelling skills
- Confidence working with senior non-finance stakeholders
- Strong Excel skills and experience improving financial reporting
- Exposure to international trading and multi-currency environments
- Stock, inventory or manufacturing experience would be advantageous
- Experience improving finance systems or ERP processes would also be useful

This Financial Controller position offers considerably more scope than simply running month-end. You'll have the opportunity to shape how finance operates, improve the quality of commercial information and build processes that support continued growth.
What's on offer
£70,000-£80,000 per annum, depending on experience, alongside hybrid working, pension, on-site parking and genuine scope to develop with an expanding international business.
For someone looking for an SME role in Thame where they can have visible influence, rather than disappearing into a large finance structure, this offers plenty of scope. Continued growth within the technology and engineering business should also provide opportunities for the role to develop over time.
