We don’t have a detailed job description for this opportunity, as the directors believe in autonomy and expect the successful candidate to shape their own role based on their skills and experience. We appreciate their open-minded approach.
The company: Trial Balance Consulting is pleased to be exclusively engaged to find the next Financial Controller for a well-established, successful specialist manufacturing business near Yeovil. This family-owned company has an impressive reputation, with a turnover exceeding £50M and over 150 staff across multiple UK and European locations.
The job: You will be the lead finance professional, sitting on the senior management team. While you will share ideas openly with the directors, you will be respected by all employees. The role is highly commercial, focusing on product costings and manufacturing processes crucial to the business's ongoing success. You will lead and influence staff across departments, potentially recruit in the future, and may implement new systems if you see improvements. Daily responsibilities include producing management accounts, analyzing foreign currency transactions (mainly Euro), authorizing payments and payroll, bank reconciliations, VAT reporting, budgeting, and forecasting.
The person: Our client values the right attitude and personality fit above all. They require an experienced accountant, possibly in a senior or managerial role, with relevant qualifications (ACA/ACCA/CIMA), but are open-minded regarding specific experience, including manufacturing. They recognize that product costings are already effective, so prior manufacturing experience is not mandatory.
The contract: The salary is approximately £55,000, negotiable depending on experience. The role is full-time, permanent, with flexibility for hybrid working. The employer trusts the candidate to deliver results in their own way.
This is an exclusive opportunity, so you won’t face fierce competition. However, the directors wish to review CVs ASAP. If you believe you’re the right fit, contact Dan Saunders quoting reference DS9211. Confidentiality is assured.
