FINANCIAL CONTROLLER

Salary: cA GBP 70,000 to A GBP 90,000

West Yorkshire

You Wont Be Sitting in a Back Office

Imagine a Role Where

• Your fingerprints are on every decision that matters
• Youre in the conversation when the business is scaling fast
• People actually listen when you talk numbers : because youre not just reporting, youre thinking
• You walk into meetings and know the answer to the question before its asked
• The pace is real. The impact is visible. You see your work changing how the business operates

This is what its like working as a Financial Controller in a high:growth, PE:backed business thats moving at speed.

Heres What You Actually Get to Do

You own the full picture. Not a narrow slice. Month:end close. Cashflow forecasting. Financial control across the entire estate. System ownership. Audit. Compliance. All of it.

You lead people. A small team that respects what you do and wants to learn from you.

You partner with real decision:makers. A Finance Director stepping into strategy. An FP and A Manager building insight. People who get that finance isnt back:office : its the engine room.

You get challenged. Constantly. On the numbers. On your thinking. On whether theres a better way. And because the business moves fast, you get to see if you were right within weeks, not months.

You shape how things work. The systems need modernising. The processes need pace. The reporting needs to tell a real story. You get to do that.

What This Means for Your Career

Youre not staying in one lane. Youre learning commercial acumen, system strategy, team leadership, and how a PE:backed business actually scales. Youre working somewhere theres genuine ownership culture :where autonomy isnt a word in the handbook, its how things actually work.

In 18 : 24 months, youll have done the work of a controller and learned the strategy of a director. Thats not common. Thats valuable.

The Reality

This isnt a quiet, corporate environment where change happens in quarterly cycles. This is a business where decisions happen fast, ambition is real, and energy matters. Youll be hands:on. Youll think on your feet. Youll be in the room when it matters.

If that sounds like being bored, this isnt for you.

If that sounds like finally doing work that counts : like actually building something : keep reading.

What You Need

• Qualified (ACA/ACCA/CIMA)
• Comfortable being challenged on the numbers
• Commercial mindset (not just technical)
• Genuine interest in how the business works, not just the financials
• bility to think fast and act decisively

Why the wide salary range?

There is genuine curiosity from the Finance Director to explore the market and shape the role around an emerging finance leader who is making a step up or someone who is an experienced Financial Controller already. As long as the hunger and desire to want to make this role your own, to grow and develop further is there (and not someone who is looking for something steady We have two similar roles in high:growth businesses, same salary range, within 10 miles of each other in

This role offer combination of autonomy, breadth, and genuine impact. This is a company where finance actually matters.
