Financial Controller | circa £80k | Fleet, Hampshire | Full time on site.
I’m working with a growing, multi entity business based in Fleet to find an experienced Financial Controller to lead their finance function.
This is a genuinely broad role. You’ll lead a small team of around four, own the financial control environment across two businesses, and become a trusted partner to the Managing Directors and senior leadership team, not just report the numbers, but help shape decisions with them.
What you’ll be doing:
- Leading and developing a finance team of around four
- Overseeing accurate, timely monthly management accounts
- Providing meaningful analysis and insight to senior stakeholders
- Strengthening and continually improving financial controls and processes
- Supporting budgeting, forecasting and financial planning
- Driving process and systems improvements as the business scales
- Working within a wider group reporting structure
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.
What they’re looking for:
- Proven experience operating at Financial Controller level, ideally managing a team rather than working solo
- Strong, current financial control and management accounting knowledge
- Commercial awareness, comfortable challenging constructively and influencing senior stakeholders
- Experience improving processes, controls or systems in a growing or complex environment
- Background in healthcare, compliance, consulting or project based organisations would be particularly welcome, though the business is flexible on sector for the right candidate
