Financial Controller

RECfinancial have engaged with an established business in the appointment of a new Financial Controller. The role is commutable from all areas of Leicester / Leicestershire, Rugby, Coventry, Market Harborough, Hinckley, Daventry, Corby, Kettering, Northampton, and surrounding areas. Reporting to the Finance Director, this is an excellent opportunity for an experienced finance professional to take ownership of the day-to-day finance function within a growing business that has recently invested in its UK operations and infrastructure. The role requires a confident and commercially minded individual who is equally comfortable getting involved in the details of financial accounting as they are working with senior stakeholders to provide meaningful financial insight and support business decisions. Day-to-day responsibilities will include overseeing monthly management accounts, journals and reconciliations, budgeting and forecasting, cashflow management, financial reporting, overseeing a small finance team and supporting the wider business with commercial and operational analysis. There will also be a strong element of finance business partnering, working closely with the leadership team and operational departments to review financial performance, improve processes and controls and develop more meaningful reporting as the business continues to grow. The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant (CIMA, ACCA or ACA), likely operating in a Financial Controller, Finance Manager or Senior Management Accountant type role. The business has a great culture, a supportive and experienced leadership team and offers the opportunity to play a key role in the continued development of the finance function. There is also the potential for longer-term career progression as part of the business's succession planning. The role offers a competitive salary package between GBP65,000 to GBP75,000, plus a bonus, hybrid working alongside a competitive benefits package.
