Join to apply for the Commercial Focused Financial Controller role at Robert Walters
We’re partnering with a fast-growing, PE-backed SME in Derby to recruit a commercially focused Financial Controller — someone confident both in financial reporting and in driving strategic insight across the wider business. The company operates as a diverse group of businesses with revenues around £40M.
What’s On Offer
* A high-impact, commercially focused Financial Controller role — combining ownership of reporting, budgeting, forecasting and margin analysis with hands-on input into pricing, production and R&D decisions.
* Genuine seat at the table: working alongside the CFO and wider leadership team to embed finance more deeply into commercial conversations and operational strategy.
* Visibility across a broad business — from the Derbyshire manufacturing base to international territories, ecommerce performance and future M&A activity.
* Opportunity to build and lead a small finance team while improving controls, systems and processes as the business scales.
What They’re Looking For
* A qualified accountant (ACCA/CIMA/ACA) with a strong grounding in commercial finance, ideally from a manufacturing, engineering or product-based environment.
* Someone who can blend financial control with strategic insight — capable of producing the numbers, but also challenging them.
* Confident working cross-functionally with non-finance stakeholders (think ops, engineering, commercial).
* Naturally proactive, curious, and solutions-focused — someone who thrives in fast-moving, evolving environments.
The role will be based primarily on site, certainly initially as relationships are formed etc.
Package wise, the business are offering £70,000-£75,000 per annum, plus a bonus, private medical, and 25 days holiday.
