I'm pleased to be supporting a growing, values-led business with the appointment of an experienced Financial Controller to join its leadership team.

This is a slightly different Financial Controller opportunity, offering 27.5 hours per week and genuine flexibility, while still providing full ownership of the finance function and direct exposure to senior leadership, the Board and shareholders.

• Direct exposure to the Board and shareholders
