Job Type: Permanent, Full Time position
The Opportunity
An established and growing manufacturing business is seeking an ambitious Financial Controller to play a key role within its senior leadership team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified or finalist senior accountant who is looking for far more than a traditional finance role. Alongside taking ownership of the finance function, you will work closely with operational and commercial teams to improve business performance, enhance reporting, develop business systems and help drive strategic growth.
The business is entering an exciting phase of development, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to influence change, improve processes and to potentially progress into the role of FD within the next 18 months to 2 years.
The Role
Reporting directly to the Directors, you will take responsibility for the company’s financial management whilst leading improvements across reporting, systems and operational processes.
