Financial Controller
Poole / Bournemouth
£70,000 to £80,000
Talent Drive is partnering exclusively with an established and growing business in the Poole and Bournemouth area to appoint an experienced Financial Controller.
This is a broad, hands on role with genuine influence. Reporting to the Managing Director, you’ll lead the finance function while working closely with the leadership team to improve performance, support commercial decisions and help shape future growth.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of the day to day finance function, ensuring strong reporting, controls and financial planning while providing meaningful commercial insight across the business.
Key responsibilities include:
- Management accounts and financial reporting
- Budgeting, forecasting and cash flow
- Commercial analysis, profitability and margin improvement
- Business partnering with the MD and leadership team
- Project and contract costing
- Financial controls, compliance and statutory requirements
- Improving finance systems, reporting and processes
- Supporting wider business planning and growth
About You
You’ll ideally be a university graduate in Accountancy, Finance or a related discipline and ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, with experience at Financial Controller level or within a similarly broad senior finance role.
This is a smaller, close knit business, so personality and fit really matter. You’ll be adaptable, approachable and a genuine team player, comfortable rolling your sleeves up and getting involved where needed.
You’ll combine strong technical finance skills with commercial awareness, confidence working with senior leaders and a proactive approach to improving how things are done.
The Opportunity
You’ll have real autonomy and the opportunity to shape the finance function, influence commercial decisions and work closely with the leadership team as the business continues to grow.
If you’re looking for a Financial Controller role where you can make a visible impact and be genuinely involved in the wider business, we’d love to hear from you.
Talent Drive welcomes applications from all suitably qualified candidates and is committed to an inclusive recruitment process.
