Financial Controller
Financial Controller
Are you an ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified finance professional looking for a role where you can genuinely influence business performance?
Agility Resourcing has partnered with a large manufacturing company based in Blackpool who are recruiting a newly created Financial Controller. This is a high-profile opportunity to work closely with senior leadership, providing commercial insight, driving profitability and supporting strategic decision-making across a diverse international operation.
The Role
As Financial Controller, you'll take ownership of management reporting, financial controls, budgeting and forecasting while acting as a key business partner to operational teams. You'll provide meaningful analysis and recommendations that help shape business performance and support continued growth.
Key Responsibilities
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
