Job Title: Group Financial Controller
Location: Derbyshire
Salary: £60,000 - £85,000 (DOE)
Are you an experienced finance professional ready to take the next step towards Finance Director and, ultimately, CFO?
We're working with a rapidly growing SME business in Derbyshire that has ambitious expansion plans through further acquisition.
As the organisation continues to grow, they're looking to appoint a commercially minded Group Financial Controller to develop a scalable finance function and become a key part of the leadership team.
The Opportunity
This is a rare opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of its growth journey.
Initially, you'll take on a hands‑on role, getting under the skin of the business, bringing together financial reporting across multiple entities and creating a robust group finance structure. Once those foundations are in place, you'll have the autonomy to shape the future of the finance function, build your own team and play a key role in supporting future acquisitions.
This is the ideal role for an ambitious Financial Controller who's ready for a broader leadership position whilst still enjoying being close to the detail.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the Group finance function across multiple entities.
- Produce consolidated management accounts and Group reporting.
- Improve financial reporting, controls and processes across the business.
- Manage budgeting, forecasting and cashflow reporting.
- Provide commercial financial insight to senior leadership.
- Support future acquisitions through financial due diligence and integration.
- Develop a scalable finance structure to support continued business growth.
- Play a key role in building and developing the finance team as the business expands.
What We’re Looking For
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified.
- Experience producing consolidated accounts within a multi-entity environment.
- Strong understanding of group reporting, cashflow and financial controls.
- Previous exposure to acquisitions or business integration would be advantageous.
- A hands‑on approach with the ambition to grow into a broader strategic leadership role.
Why This Role Stands Out
Join a business with ambitious acquisition and growth plans.
Genuine opportunity to shape and build the Group finance function.
Progression towards Finance Director as the business continues to scale.
Opportunity to recruit and develop your own finance team.
High level of exposure to acquisitions, commercial decision‑making and senior leadership.
If you’re an ambitious Financial Controller looking for the opportunity to make a genuine impact within a growing organisation and progress your career into a senior finance leadership position, we’d love to speak with you.
