Financial Controller (Part Time, 3–4 Days)
Location: Huntingdon (on-site)

Part-time FC needed to stabilise and improve a manufacturing finance function – potential to go permanent.
The Opportunity
A manufacturing SME is looking for a hands-on Financial Controller to take control of a finance function that needs a reset.
This is a fix and improve role, not maintenance. You’ll come in, sort the numbers, tighten controls and then help drive better margins, stock control and performance alongside the MD and a high-quality Fractional FD.
Initially a contract role, with the potential to convert to permanent for the right person.

* Full balance sheet reconciliations and clean-up
* Identify and implement required adjustments
* Put proper controls and structure in place
* Take control of stock and inventory (valuation, reconciliations, accuracy)
* Manage and organise a small finance team (2–3 people)
* Upskill team to support ongoing reporting
3–6 Months – Improve
* Drive improvements in margin, stock turn and WIP
* Improve MI and reporting quality
* Support decision-making with MD and FD
* Input into costing, systems and MRP processes
The Setup
* 3–4 days per week, on-site in Huntingdon
* Reporting to MD, working with a Fractional FD (2–4 days/month)
* You will own the output. The current team needs direction and development

* Solid understanding of stock, costing and margins
* Comfortable coming into a messy environment and fixing it
* Strong on detail, controls and team leadership
