Following the recent appointment of a CFO, the business is now looking for a Financial Controller to run the day-to-day finance operations and help build a function fit for growth and eventual transaction.

• Support monthly management reporting, budgeting and forecasting
• Drive financial planning and analysis to guide strategic decisions
• Partner with the CFO on investor reporting and transaction readiness
• Collaborate across departments on key commercial initiatives, including customer and product level analysis
• Oversee cash flow, working capital and compliance obligations
• Contribute to the integration of future acquisitions and prepare for PE due diligence
