FINANCIAL CONTROLLER
West Yorkshire | Hybrid | £65,000–£75,000 + progression + potential share options
A Role That Will Genuinely Change Your Career
This isn't a steady, plug‑and‑play Financial Controller position.
This is a chance to step into a fast‑growing business at the perfect moment — right in the middle of a transformation.
The company has undergone a successful management buyout, is scaling rapidly, and is investing heavily in digital, data, and modernising its operations. They now need a Financial Controller who wants to own, shape, and elevate the finance function as the business grows.
"I want someone who's into the detail more than me… but who can just get on with things. Try it — if it doesn't work, change it again."
— Finance Director
Why You'll Want This Job
1. You'll build the finance function your way
You won't be inheriting a static setup — you'll improve reporting, strengthen processes, modernise month‑end, and push automation forward.
Real ownership, real influence.
2. You'll become a commercial voice in the business
You'll work alongside Operations, Marketing, and Data/BI — analysing digital marketing ROI, driving manufacturing efficiency, improving margin insight, and supporting strategic decisions.
"I've taken the management pack from two pages to twenty‑five. I expect the next leap — better reporting, better challenge, better insight."
— Finance Director
3. You'll accelerate toward future leadership roles
The business has a clear 3–4 year value‑creation journey. For the right person, this role can evolve into Head of Finance, FD, and even include share options.
"If you do fantastic work, it becomes very hard not to offer share options."
— Finance Director
4. You'll work in a modern, flexible, trusting culture
Hybrid working, flexible hours, and a leadership team that empowers — not micromanages.
What You'll Do
1. Lead management accounts, cashflow, balance sheet
2. Improve reporting, processes, controls, and insight
3. Partner with data, marketing, and operations
4. Support strategy, budgeting, forecasting and commercial analysis
5. Develop and support a small, growing finance team

6. Loves solving problems and improving things
7. Thinks commercially, not just technically
8. Wants variety, visibility, and influence
9. Thrives in fast‑paced, changing environments
