Do you enjoy working for fast-changing companies with a real appetite to evolve further and disrupt their markets?

This is a pivotal time for this FTSE 100 business, with a company-wide transformation, new joint ventures, emerging revenue streams, and a £700m pipeline of committed investments set to accelerate growth.

And guess what? Your role will be at the heart of it all!

As the Group Financial Controller, you'll own every aspect of the financial reporting cycle. You'll be responsible for delivering high-quality reports across the group, joint ventures, and subsidiaries.

This broad role encompasses statutory and regulatory reporting, management reporting, finance operations, and providing strategic financial insights to support key decision-making.

This role is part of the Senior Leadership Team, as such you'll play your part on the Strategy away days, working as a team with your high-calibre peers to help steer the direciton of the business.

Given the technical expertise required in IFRS/FRS 102 accounting standards, it's anticipated you'll be ACA or ACCA-qualified with extensive post-qualification experience, ideally gained in a large, complex private, PIE, or PLC environment.

Not every Group Financial Controller role is the same.

With the resilience that comes from experience, you may still consider this role from a Finance Director level. We're open to that.

To succeed in this dynamic environment, you'll need to demonstrate proactive leadership in a fast-paced, high-change environment and significant experience in financial reporting for complex group consolidations.

A multi-million-pound investment in a new ERP system is progressing nicely, so experience in guiding a Finance team through system changes-and the subsequent transformation in business processes-will be invaluable.

You'll be well-supported, working with high-calibre colleagues.

In your critical oversight role, you'll lead a team of four direct reports and ultimately manage a team of 40.

Natalie Wells Recruitment has partnered exclusively with this business to recruit five newly created senior roles over the past five years. All remain with the company today, with several having been promoted.

While the work is demanding, they report that it's also a fun and rewarding place to be.

This is a values-led organisation that genuinely makes a positive impact in our communities.

You'll be competitively compensated, with a salary ranging from £110,000 to £125,000.

Plus up to 30% bonus,car allowance, pension (the company match your contribution +1% up to a combined total of 11%), healthcare, and access to a wide range of benefits plus the flexibility to work hybrid: three days in the office and two days working from home.
