Job Description
I’m delighted to be partnering exclusively with a fast‑growing business who develop and operate some of the UK’s most innovative projects.
This is to appoint a Group Financial Controller on a 15‑month fixed‑term contract. Based in Harrogate, 4 days onsite per week.
This is an excellent chance to join a company where the team truly cares about each other’s development, wellbeing, and success - and where you’ll immediately feel part of something special.
This role will play a pivotal part in shaping the finance function during a period of growth and future investment planning.
You’ll be joining a collaborative environment where everyone pulls together. The finance team is tight‑knit and hands‑on and they’re looking for someone who shares that energy. You'll have exposure to UK and international operations, work closely with senior leadership, and take the lead on both day‑to‑day group accounting and strategic projects that will influence the future direction of the business.
As Group Financial Controller, you will:
\t
* Oversee and manage all accounting across a complex UK and overseas group structure
\t
* Review financial paperwork, statements, and submissions
\t
* Support and develop the finance team
\t
* Take a hands‑on approach across the function
\t
* Lead or support on due diligence workstreams
\t
* Be involved in funding discussions and financial projects tied to longer‑term investment plans
\t
* Contribute to strategic work as the business positions itself for the future
We’re looking for someone who brings:
\t
* Hands‑on group accounting experience within a complex structure
\t
* Strong people leadership skills
\t
* Experience in transactions, due diligence, or investment‑related projects (desirable but not essential)
\t
* A proactive, collaborative, team‑focused mindset
