Financial Controller in Essex

Commercial Financial Controller A business growing at pace doesn't need someone to simply report the numbers. It needs someone who can help shape what happens next.

Alongside this, you'll retain ownership of the financial control and reporting processes that underpin a fast-moving organisation. The Role Key responsibilities include: Ownership of monthly management accounts and financial reporting. Production of weekly KPI, trading and performance reports. Business partnering with senior stakeholders to support commercial decision-making. Analysis of business performance, profitability and growth opportunities. Development of dashboards and management information to support operational performance. Budgeting, forecasting and financial planning. Maintaining strong controls, reconciliations and balance sheet integrity.
