Group Financial Controller
Group Financial Controller – Global Manufacturing Group
About the Role
ISCA Recruitment is seeking a Group Financial Controller for a rapidly expanding, ambitious manufacturing group. Reporting directly to the CFO, this pivotal role offers an opportunity for a technically strong, commercially minded finance professional to take ownership of Group reporting, drive financial excellence, and support the next phase of growth.
This is not a traditional financial control role—you’ll be a trusted business partner to the CEO, CFO, and Commercial FD, shaping strategy, strengthening controls, and leading acquisitions integration while building a scalable finance function capable of supporting the Group’s evolving structure.
Ideal for an ambitious qualified accountant looking to step into broader leadership.
Key Responsibilities
-
Financial Reporting & Consolidation
- Manage preparation and delivery of Group Interim and Annual Financial Reports
- Oversee Group consolidation for management accounts and statutory accounts
- Implement SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) across the Group
-
Compliance & Audits
- Ensure audit readiness for operating companies during year-end close
- Collaborate with external auditors to streamline audit processes
- Prepare subsidiary statutory accounts and steer compliance with evolving accounting standards
