journey as we unveil a new and unparalleled resort.

passion for numbers and a flair for leadership? Do you thrive in a fast-paced
environment where your financial expertise can truly make a difference? If so,
we’d love to welcome you to our leadership team as our new Financial
Controller.
This is a pivotal role at the heart of our business — you’ll
lead and develop our Finance Team, mentor our Assistant Financial Controller,

You’ll also support the Finance Director and be the key
liaison with ownership, banks, legal partners, auditors and tax advisors,
ensuring that our financial practices remain compliant and future-ready.
The on-target earning potential for this role is a £65,000 annual
salary, comprising a base salary of £62,500 supplemented by an estimated £2500
in gratuities per annum, ensuring a rewarding compensation package.
The duties of our Financial Controller include:
* Champion Financial Excellence: Use your
professional qualifications and experience to drive robust financial practices,
ensuring every decision is backed by data and aligned with our strategic goals.
* Lead with Vision: Inspire and mentor a
high-performing finance team, nurturing talent and encouraging continuous
development across all levels.
* Turn Data into Direction: Harness the power of
financial systems and business intelligence tools to translate data into clear,
