Financial Controller - Cornwall or South Devon
On-site | Regional Wholesale Distribution | Career-Defining Opportunity
Are you an ambitious finance professional ready to take the next step in your career?
Whether you’re already an FC seeking more influence, or a Finance Manager/Management Accountant looking for your first number-one finance role, this opportunity offers the chance to lead, shape, and grow within a dynamic regional business.
The Business
They are a leading wholesale distributor in the South West, supplying fresh, frozen, chilled, and ambient products to hospitality venues, schools, care homes, and public institutions. Following the merger of two established businesses, they’re entering an exciting period of integration and expansion - and finance is at the centre of it.
The Role
As Financial Controller, you won’t just be keeping the books straight - you’ll be building a finance function that drives decision-making and future growth. You’ll:
* Take ownership of month-end, cashflow, and KPIs with accuracy and clarity.
* Partner with senior leaders across operations, sales, and HR to influence performance.
* Lead and develop a small finance team across multiple sites.
* Play a pivotal role in post-merger integration, strengthening processes, systems, and controls.
* Provide the insight and confidence the leadership team needs to shape strategy.
What We’re Looking For
* ACA/ACCA/CIMA qualified (or finalist with a strong track record).
* Either: an experienced FC hungry for a bigger remit, or a Finance Manager/Management Accountant ready to step into their first FC post.
* Commercially sharp, able to translate numbers into business impact.
* Comfortable with change, solutions-driven, and hands-on in approach.
* Strong team leadership skills and a collaborative mindset.
Why This Role?
* Be based in South Devon or one of our South Cornwall offices, with visibility across the region.
* A genuine step-up opportunity for those aspiring to become an FC, or a broader, more influential role for an existing FC.
* The chance to leave your mark on a business that’s evolving and growing.
* Work close to home in a role with regional impact.
If you’re ambitious, motivated, and ready to shape the finance function of a transforming business, we’d love to hear from you.
