Financial Controller
International Group | Broad Ownership | Leadership Exposure
Farnborough | Hybrid Working (2 days office)
£80,000 to £85,000 + Bonus + Private Healthcare
Most Financial Controller roles talk about controls. This one is more about creating confidence.
You would be joining a recognised international business with the backing of a larger group but the feel of a close-knit UK operation.
Reporting into an impressive Finance Director, this role has become increasingly important as the business continues to evolve and finance takes on a broader role in supporting growth, decision making and operational improvement.
This is not a role where you disappear into month-end. You will lead an established team whilst owning financial control, statutory reporting, audit, treasury, cash and helping shape how finance operates moving forward.
There is genuine opportunity to influence systems, improve processes and increase automation across the function.
The role would suit someone who enjoys breadth, likes being close enough to the detail to understand what is happening but wants enough exposure to influence outcomes.
