Senior Recruitment Consultant at Mitchell Adam Ltd
We're partnering with a well-established and growing manufacturing business looking to appoint a Financial Controller who brings both hands-on expertise and a sharp commercial mindset.
This is a key hire for the company, a pivotal role that sits at the heart of day-to-day operations and strategic decision-making. Working closely with the Managing Director, you’ll drive financial performance, support future growth plans, and play a crucial role in upcoming M&A activity.
The Role: This isn’t a reporting-only role, it’s about taking ownership, building structure, and driving value. You’ll oversee the full finance function, but also act as a strategic business partner to the MD, helping shape commercial decisions and growth strategy.
Key Responsibilities:
* Full ownership of the finance function: month-end, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, reporting.
* Work closely with operational teams to improve costing, margins, and efficiency.
* Support strategic planning and commercial analysis for new opportunities and investments.
* Play a key role in M&A activity, including due diligence, integration, and financial modelling.
* Ensure robust financial controls and regulatory compliance.
* Present financial insights to senior stakeholders and the board.
What We’re Looking For:
* Proven experience as a Financial Controller in a manufacturing or industrial environment.
* Strong commercial acumen – comfortable analysing performance, pricing, and operational KPIs.
* Hands-on approach with the confidence to get into the detail while contributing at board level.
* Involvement in M&A, investment analysis or similar strategic projects is highly desirable.
* ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified.
What You’ll Get:
* A visible, value-adding role with real influence over business direction.
* Exposure to M&A and board-level strategy.
* Flexibility around hybrid working once embedded in the business.
* A supportive, ambitious leadership team committed to investing in talent.
This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially astute finance professional who enjoys working closely with operations and wants to be more than just the numbers person.
