Are you an ambitious Financial Controller looking to make a real impact in a private equity-backed business?
We're working with a high-growth, PE-backed equipment-led business entering an exciting phase of expansion. With significant investment and a clear growth strategy, the business is now looking to appoint a commercially focused Financial Controller to strengthen the finance function and support the next stage of its journey.
This is a pivotal position, working closely with the CFO and senior leadership team. You'll take ownership of financial control, reporting, and process improvement, while playing a key role in driving performance and supporting strategic initiatives.
Key responsibilities include:
Leading the month-end close and delivering accurate, timely management accounts
Owning financial reporting, controls, and compliance across the business
Managing and developing the finance team
Delivering robust cashflow forecasting and working capital management
Partnering with operational teams to drive performance and profitability
Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and board reporting
Enhancing systems, controls, and reporting processes
Acting as a key finance lead for projects, growth initiatives, and potential acquisitions
We're looking for a driven, commercially minded finance professional who thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
You will likely be:
ACA qualified with a strong audit background
An experienced Financial Controller or a strong Finance Manager ready to step up
Experienced within SME, PE-backed, or high-growth environments
Confident managing month-end, reporting, and financial controls
Commercially aware, with the ability to partner with non-finance stakeholders
A proactive leader, capable of improving processes and driving change
Sector experience in equipment, engineering, distribution, or asset-heavy businesses is advantageous but not essential.
Join a private equity-backed business with a clear growth trajectory
Work closely with an experienced CFO and leadership team
Play a key role in scaling the business and improving performance
Genuine opportunity to progress towards a Finance Director role
Fast-paced, high-impact environment where you can add real value
