Confidential Opportunity | High Growth SME
Eaton Syalon are exclusively supporting the appointment of a commercially focused Financial Controller on behalf of a successful SME business with ambitious plans for growth. This is an exciting opportunity to join a well-established SME that has built an excellent reputation within its sector and is now entering the next phase of its growth journey, supported by the backing of a larger group committed to both organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, with a dotted line into the Group CFO, this role will play a key part in shaping commercial decision-making, driving financial performance, and providing the leadership team with the insight required to support ambitious growth plans. This is far more than a traditional financial reporting role.
