✨ We’re Hiring: QSR Financial Controller | Splendid Hospitality Group ✨
📍Based remotely in the Midlands with travel across the region.
We’re looking for a Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) Financial Controller to lead financial control, performance insight, and commercial delivery across our growing restaurant business.
Reporting to the Group Operations Finance Director, this is a pivotal role shaping a robust, scalable finance approach across a fast-paced, multi-site QSR business.
You’ll strengthen financial foundations — from reporting accuracy and cost control to inventory, margin performance, and governance — while partnering closely with Operations to turn data into clear, actionable insight that drives profitability and operational excellence.
At the same time, you’ll lead budgeting, forecasting, and investment analysis, helping to ensure the business is set up to grow with confidence, discipline, and pace.
This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a high-impact finance role within a dynamic, entrepreneurial organisation — balancing hands-on delivery with commercial influence.
