Veracious Talent Partners are supporting a PE-backed organisation in Peterborough with the appointment of a Financial Controller.
This is a high-impact role within a growing, asset-backed business, offering the opportunity to operate at both a detailed technical level whilst also acting as a true business partner to senior leadership.
You’ll be joining at a key stage of growth, where the finance function is evolving alongside the wider business — requiring someone who is comfortable getting into the detail, whilst also stepping back to provide strategic insight and direction. A significant part of the role will involve leading and supporting a number of ongoing and upcoming projects, with a particular focus on capex-led initiatives across the business.
Key responsibilities will include:
* Leading month-end close and delivering accurate, insightful management reporting
* Ownership of statutory reporting, audit and financial compliance
* Maintaining strong balance sheet control, including capex and project accounting
* Taking a lead role on capex-heavy projects, supporting delivery, tracking spend and ensuring financial control
* Driving improvements across systems, processes and financial controls
* Supporting budgeting, forecasting and cash flow management
* Partnering closely with senior management, providing commercial insight and decision support
* Playing a key role in building a scalable, best-in-class finance function
This role will suit someone who enjoys operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment and can balance strong technical capability with commercial awareness and stakeholder engagement.
The successful candidate will:
* Be ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified
* Have experience operating at Financial Controller level
* Bring strong technical accounting expertise alongside a hands-on approach
* Be comfortable working in detail whilst also influencing at a senior level
* Previous experience within a PE-backed environment is highly desirable
* Experience within infrastructure, construction or asset-heavy organisations would be highly advantageous
* Have experience working on capex-intensive projects or within project-led environments
This is a fully office-based role to enable close collaboration with operations and senior leadership.
A bonus scheme is expected to be introduced from 2027, offering up to 20% additional earning potential.
