Job description

Are you ready to take the reins of a dynamic finance function and make a real impact? We’re looking for a strategic, hands-on Financial Controller to join a thriving business in Evesham. This is more than just a numbers role — it’s a chance to mentor a talented team, shape financial strategy, and become a key player in the senior leadership group.

Salary: £65-75k

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with the MD to shape and implement financial strategy.
• Lead, mentor, and support the Finance team.
• Deliver accurate cashflow forecasts and support cash management.
• Prepare monthly management accounts with insightful commentary.
• Oversee stock costing and ensure robust financial controls.
• Drive budgeting and forecasting processes.
• Manage payroll and VAT returns.
• Ensure accurate financial records through journal postings and reconciliations.
• Provide variance analysis and strategic insights.
• Act as a trusted Finance business partner across the leadership team.

About You

• Proven experience in a senior finance role.
• ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified.
• A natural mentor with a passion for developing others.
• Skilled in financial planning, analysis, and reporting.
• Strong understanding of stock costing and reconciliations.
• Confident juggling multiple priorities and stakeholders.
• Advanced Excel skills and experience with accounting systems.
• Analytical, detail-oriented, and commercially savvy.
• A collaborative communicator who thrives in a team environment.
• Proactive and solutions-focused, always looking for ways to add value.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Influence at the top: Work directly with the MD to drive financial strategy and business performance.
• Lead with purpose: Guide and develop a small, capable Finance team — your leadership will shape their growth.
• Hybrid flexibility: Enjoy a healthy work-life balance with up to 2 days working from home.
