HW Finance are delighted to be partnering with a high-growth, PE-backed business, who are looking for a technically strong Financial Controller.
This role will be incredibly hands-on and will be involved helping to lead a transformation of its finance function and redefine "what good looks like" across controls, processes and team capability.
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to take ownership of the financial control function at a pivotal point in the company’s private equity lifecycle (2-3 years from a planned exit). You’ll play a key role in stabilising and enhancing financial operations in an organisation where the infrastructure has historically lagged behind commercial success - and is now catching up fast.
Key Responsibilities
* Own and lead the financial control environment - significantly enhance processes, policies and governance
* Be hands-on in the early stages while you reshape the team and structure
* Direct line management of 2 senior finance professionals, with total team of 8
* Collaborate cross-functionally as the business improves ERP processes
* Partner with senior leadership and prepare the business for eventual PE exit
What We’re Looking For
* A proven Financial Controller with strong technical accounting and controls experience
* Experience in a growing organisation, ideally with PE exposure
* Demonstrated ability to transform under-invested finance environments
* Willingness to roll up sleeves and get into the detail during early stages of change
* Leadership experience across a broad finance team, including transactional finance and commercial finance support
* Strong systems and process mindset
