Are you a hands-on finance professional who loves rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in?
We're working with a growing SME in Nottingham who are looking to appoint a proactive, commercially minded Financial Controller to take ownership of their day-to-day finance operations.
Reporting directly into the senior leadership team, this is a brilliant opportunity to make a real impact in a business that values insight, initiative, and continuous improvement.

- Full ownership of the monthly management accounts - including accruals, prepayments, and balance sheet reconciliations

- Use your Excel skills to build, improve and automate reporting
- Identify cost-saving opportunities and support commercial decision-making
- Manage and support a small finance team (including a Management Accountant)
- Play a key role in developing and improving processes and controls
About you:
- You'll be a "doer" - someone happy to be hands-on but also comfortable stepping back to look at the bigger picture
- Strong grounding in management accounting, balance sheet work and financial reporting
- Comfortable in Excel and ideally experienced with Xero
- Commercially minded, curious, and confident working closely with senior stakeholders
- Qualified or QBE - they're open, so long as you've got the experience and attitude
Why join?
- Salary of £60,000 - £65,000
- A genuinely brilliant working environment and office space
