ACA Qualified Financial Controller | Manchester | £60,000 - £65,000 per annum + bonus

The Opportunity

You’ll be joining a growing private-equity backed business as Financial Controller.

Getting a role like this under your belt for the next 3 years will be hugely valuable - you’ll be working for a superb mentor, someone experienced, modern-thinking and down to earth. An approachable and encouraging leader who will give you plenty of freedom and autonomy.

Reporting to the Head of Finance / FD in this interesting and agile SME (£20m-£30m turnover bracket) you’ll enjoy a really broad remit - including management accounting, statutory reporting (and year end audit processes), commercial MI and business partnering, team leadership (2-3 direct reports from day one), ad hoc project involvement including M&A activities…

This is an epic springboard for someone who see’s themselves on the road to an FD position down the line. Someone who has a great technical accounting background from audit but also has commercial acumen and an interest in business.

You need great communication skills and ability to bring the reports to life for a non finance audience.

It’s a business that is amid change and growth - you’ll enjoy project involvement alongside the valuable BAU remit.

Required:

  • Background within practice - most likely audit experience and ACA qualified.
  • Someone looking for a varied finance manager / financial controller role - managing the month and year end reporting and accounting requirements for a growth SME (PE backed).
  • Ability to translate the numbers into useful and real-world commentary.
  • Excellent organisation and workload management skills.
  • Someone who enjoys working in a collaborative setting, someone with the communication and coaching skills to lead a small team.

This will be a rewarding role for someone career focused, someone who perhaps sees themselves as FD of a PE backed business later in their career.
