Swindon | Hybrid Working
Apointe is proud to be working on a retained basis with a globally recognised engineering and innovation business to appoint an outstanding Group Financial Controller.
This is a rare opportunity to join a market-leading organisation operating at the forefront of its industry. Reporting directly to the CFO, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the finance function, leading financial operations across a complex, international business during an exciting period of growth and transformation.
This is far more than a traditional Group Financial Controller position. Alongside responsibility for financial reporting, statutory compliance, treasury and governance, you'll be a key driver of finance transformation, improving systems, processes and controls while developing a high-performing finance team capable of supporting the next phase of the organisation's growth.
The Role:
As Group Financial Controller, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across the Record-to-Report function, ensuring best-in-class financial reporting, governance and financial control across multiple UK and international entities.
