Sonic Summary

info
  • This is a newly created Financial Controller role focused on leading the finance integration of a recently acquired business.
  • The position requires either an experienced Financial Controller or a Senior Management Accountant with relevant experience.
  • Candidates should possess strong commercial acumen and be comfortable with ambiguity in a dynamic environment.
  • The role offers the opportunity for autonomy and the chance to shape the finance function while working closely with leadership.
  • The salary for this position is competitive, though not specified, and a significant level of experience is required.

This is not just another Financial Controller role.

You won’t be stepping into someone else’s shoes or inheriting a finance function that's been ticking over for years. Quite the opposite.

This is a newly created role, because the business has grown - recently acquiring a new entity - and now needs someone to take the lead on pulling their finance setup into something a bit more joined-up and future-proof.

The newly acquired business is going to need a bit more structure, a bit more consistency, and someone who can turn numbers into insight - not just reports into PDFs.

Here’s what’s on your plate:

  • Leading the finance integration of a newly acquired business
  • Producing management accounts that actually help people make decisions
  • Business partnering with each site - which means building real relationships, not just emailing spreadsheets
  • Implementing sensible financial controls and processes
  • Managing a small but capable transactional finance team
  • Translating finance into something stakeholders can act on

What you’ll probably need:

  • You’re either an experienced Financial Controller, or a Senior Management Accountant who’s been acting like one anyway
  • You’ve got strong commercial acumen - you understand finance isn’t just about reporting, it’s about driving the business forward
  • You’re comfortable with a bit of ambiguity - because this isn’t a role where everything’s already built for you

What’s in it for you?

Autonomy. The chance to shape something new. And the opportunity to work across a group of businesses where your voice will actually be heard.

You’ll work directly with leadership, have a clear seat at the table, and play a big part in where this group goes next.

There’s growth happening. They just need someone who can help bring the finance side up to speed.

Curious? You don’t need a perfect CV to start the conversation. Let’s talk - worst case, you’ll know what else is out there.
