Financial Controller

• Your fingerprints are on every decision that matters
• You're in the conversation when the business is scaling fast
• People actually listen when you talk numbers - because you're not just reporting, you're thinking
• You walk into meetings and know the answer to the question before it's asked
• The pace is real. The impact is visible. You see your work changing how the business operates

This is what it's like working as a Financial Controller in a high-growth, PE-backed business that's moving at speed.

Here's What You Actually Get to Do

You own the full picture. Not a narrow slice. Month-end close. Cashflow forecasting. Financial control across the entire estate. System ownership. Audit. Compliance. All of it.

You lead people. A small team that respects what you do and wants to learn from you.

You partner with real decision-makers.

A Finance Director stepping into strategy.

An FP&A Manager building insight.

People who get that finance isn't back-office - it's the engine room.

You get challenged.

Constantly.

On the numbers.

On your thinking.

On whether there's a better way.

And because the business moves fast, you get to see if you were right within weeks, not months.

You shape how things work. The systems need modernising. The processes need pace. The reporting needs to tell a real story. You get to do that.

What This Means for Your Career

You're not staying in one lane.

You're learning commercial acumen, system strategy, team leadership, and how a PE-backed business actually scales.

You're working somewhere there's genuine ownership culture -where autonomy isn't a word in the handbook, it's how things actually work.

In 18 - 24 months, you'll have done the work of a controller and learned the strategy of a director. That's not common. That's valuable.

The Reality

This isn't a quiet, corporate environment where change happens in quarterly cycles.

This is a business where decisions happen fast, ambition is real, and energy matters.

You'll be hands-on.

You'll think on your feet.

You'll be in the room when it matters.

If that sounds like being bored, this isn't for you.

If that sounds like finally doing work that counts - like actually building something - keep reading.

Why the wide salary range?

There is genuine curiosity from the Finance Director to explore the market and shape the role around an 'emerging finance leader' who is making a step up or someone who is an experienced Financial Controller already.
