Leicester (Hamilton Industrial Estate) · Full-time · On-site / hybrid
We’re a recycled‑plastic manufacturing and construction products group that builds almost everything ourselves. Our own tech runs the dispatch, the CRM, the customer service AI, and the real‑time manufacturing intelligence on the shop floor. We’d rather build the right thing than buy the average one. Now the finance function needs the same treatment.
This isn’t a bookkeeping seat. It’s the person who owns the integrity of the whole group’s numbers. The group is a holding company over a UK trading business, a 50/50 manufacturing joint venture, international markets, and cross‑border sales into the EU and US. That means multi‑market consolidation, intercompany flows, multi‑currency, and VAT across OSS, IOSS and US D2C. The joint venture is the interesting part: you’ll own clean, defensible accounts that both partners have to trust, and hold that line calmly.
What you’d own:
- Month‑end close and consolidated management accounts across every entity, to a reliable timetable
- The JV accounting — independent, defensible, and reconciled with our manufacturing partner
- Cross‑border VAT across UK, the Netherlands OSS scheme, IOSS and US flows
- Multi‑currency cash and the settlement reconciliation for our stockist network
- Reconciling our own operating systems against the statutory ledgers, so the numbers we run on and the numbers we file agree
- Being the bridge to our external accountants and expansion advisers
You probably are:
- Qualified (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) or genuinely qualified by experience
- Someone who has run multi‑entity, consolidated books — not just a single company
- Comfortable with cross‑border indirect tax and working through a provider rather than needing it explained
- Happy living inside bespoke internal tooling rather than waiting for an off‑the‑shelf package to think for you
- Precise, unflappable, and able to hold a line without making it a fight
What you get:
- A group that respects people who build things properly and doesn’t drown them in corporate process
- Real ownership of a genuinely interesting financial picture, not a cog in a finance factory
- Salary depending on level and experience — this is a proper group‑controller seat, not an entry role
If you’ve kept books that a partner with opposing interests had to trust, and you like the idea of a business that builds its own tools, let’s talk. Message me or apply below.
