As Financial Controller, you will be responsible for ensuring the organisation meets all statutory and fiscal financial requirements, as well as delivering internal financial services to the wider business. You will lead the production of accurate and reliable financial and management information within tight deadlines. A critical aspect of this role is maintaining the integrity of financial systems and ensuring a robust control environment with efficient and effective processes and procedures.

• Evolve the format of all financial reporting templates.

About You:

The ideal candidate will possess strong leadership and drive to effectively manage the finance team and collaborate with non-finance colleagues to deliver accurate financial information. You will have excellent planning, organising, and controlling skills, with the ability to take initiative and confidently challenge financial processes and results. Strong relationship-building skills and the confidence to challenge budgets and actions are essential.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Experience in consolidation and statutory reporting, with excellent technical skills.
• Fully qualified accountant (ACCA / CIMA / CA).
• Strong moral compass and excellent communication skills.
• Up-to-date knowledge of accounting legislation.
• Ability to work to deadlines and under pressure.
• High level of numeracy and analytical skills.
