Tired of finance roles that all feel the same? This one’s different.
Based in the Hampshire countryside, this privately owned group combines a mix of businesses, ranging from residential and commercial property to private equity investments and a fast-growing education venture. The result? A role with scope, variety and real impact.
We’re looking for a Group Financial Controller to join a small, capable finance team and work directly with the Finance Director. This is a broad, hands-on position where you’ll be central to ensuring the group runs smoothly while shaping future processes and controls.
Reporting to the Finance Director, you will be responsible for:
* Strengthening financial controls and bringing more processes in-house where it adds value
* Leading month-end close and VAT returns (including partial exemption)
* Delivering MI reporting – P&L, budgets and cashflow forecasts – to support strategic decisions
* Owning the audit preparation process for the investment side of the group and managing external auditors
* Managing and developing a small team (currently 1.5 FTEs, including an Accounts Assistant)
* Handling intercompany recharges and keeping a tight grip on cashflow, from week-to-week planning through to long-term forecasting
This isn’t a “business partnering” role just yet – it’s about building strong foundations and taking pride in the technical delivery that underpins everything else.
What you will need:
* To be a qualified accountant ( ACCA / ACA / CIMA ) though strong QBE will be considered
* Previous experience in a similar role, such as Group Financial Controller / Financial Controller / Finance Director / Head of Finance
* To be someone who enjoys getting into the nuts and bolts of finance – sleeves rolled up, detail-driven and curious about how things work
* Intermediate Excel skills at a minimum
What you will get:
* Enhanced pension, matched up to 10% after 3 years
* Flexible working hours
* Dog-friendly office
* Study support
* EAP programme
* Annual health checks, dental, eye care
* 23 days holiday plus bank holidays
* Free, onsite parking
