Financial Controller - £45 -50k - Education | West YorkshireAre you tired of being the numbers person who only gets consulted at month-end?We're looking for a Financial Controller who can do more than just manage the books - someone who can help shape financial strategy while building a best-in-class control environment.What's Actually Going On Here? We're an education provider that believes in making a real difference. Right now, we need someone who can lead our finance function while helping us navigate our strategic plans with sound financial governance.You'll Be Great For This If:
  • You've got a CCAB qualification (That means you're qualified ACA, CIMA, ACCA or CIPFA if you've not seen those letters before!)
  • You can translate complex financial concepts into plain English
  • You've developed robust control environments and lived to tell the tale
  • You're comfortable leading a small team and working with senior stakeholders
What's Different About This Role?
  • You'll be shaping financial strategy that impacts education outcomes
  • Real leadership opportunity (managing people not just managing processes)
  • Actual input into organisational decision-making
  • A senior team that understands the value of strong financial control
The Boring (But Important) Bits:
  • Enhanced annual leave - 30 days plus stats!
  • Choice of pension schemes (including local government option)
  • Free on-site parking - you'll be onsite initially (possible hybrid working in the future), so will need to live within reasonable commuting distance but the office is next to a train station so Leeds / Bradford / Skipton / Halifax / Bingley / Ilkley are all in a sensible range
Warning: If you're looking for a pure technical reporting role, this isn't it. We need someone who can build relationships, provide strategic insight, and help drive our organisation forward - while maintaining robust financial controls.Want to use your finance skills to make a real difference?
