Financial Controller in Milton Keynes

You’ve built a strong finance career, but you don’t want your next move to be all about reporting what’s already happened. You want to be closer to the decisions, helping senior leaders understand the numbers and using them to shape where the business goes next.

As Financial Controller, you’ll take ownership of day-to-day financial operations, turning financial data into clear insight and analysis that supports business decisions. You’ll strengthen financial controls, develop the finance team and work closely with the CFO and senior management.

This is a strong next step for an experienced, hands-on finance professional who enjoys combining technical accounting with commercial thinking. You’ll broaden your influence, support a growing healthcare business and help build the systems and processes it needs for its next stage of growth.

Who’s it for and what’s in it for you?

Bringing an expert clinical team together with next-generation imaging technology, this is exactly what our client are bringing to the market. And not only this, their key goal is to make access to this level of healthcare as quick and easy as possible. They understand the stress that can come from waiting for a screening, so they want the UK to have early access to excellent facilities.

Currently a small team, this is a business with the mindset and the desire to expand much further than they currently lie; this is your opportunity to join a company with the potential for a meteoric rise. And with that comes the opportunity for quick progression, as well as that feel good factor that comes from bringing excellent diagnostic technology to communities across the country.
