Financial Controller
East of Glasgow - onsite
Up to £90,000 plus bonus and benefits
Iconic Resourcing are delighted to be retained by a PE-backed, multi-site engineering and industrial services business operating across the UK. Trading strongly, well-funded, and with an ambitious growth plan - this is a business entering a genuine step-change phase. A major systems project is underway to bring together the group's accounting platform and its field service/job management ERP, with implementation required by year-end - and this role will lead that project.
Initially, around 70% of your time will be spent driving the systems implementation, before transitioning into full ownership of day-to-day finance. You'll manage a finance team of around 10, report directly to the CFO, and get direct exposure to senior leadership and investors, including presenting to stakeholders and visiting sites across the group.
Key Responsibilities:
Systems Implementation (initial focus)
- Lead the rollout of the group's field service and job management ERP system, including configuration, data migration, testing, and training
- Build and manage integration between the ERP and accounting platforms, ensuring clean, reconciled data flows across invoicing, purchase orders, job costs, and ledger postings
- Establish reconciliation routines and controls between operational and financial systems
- Work with branch and operational leaders to embed consistent processes across all sites
