Lead Talent Acquisition Director | Distinct Recruitment

If you’re looking for a Financial Controller role that gives you the breadth, exposure and influence of a large group — but with the pace, visibility and autonomy that only comes in a growing, PE‑backed business — this one’s worth a look.

The business sits firmly in that sweet spot. International scale. Multi‑entity complexity. Clear investment and ambition. But a finance team that’s still small enough for you to genuinely shape how things are done.

This is a newly created role, driven by growth and change, with finance right at the centre of what happens next.

The opportunity

You’ll join as a senior member of the finance team, working closely with experienced leadership and taking ownership of a broad, high‑impact remit. It’s a role that blends hands‑on control with project‑led work, giving you exposure well beyond a traditional FC brief.

There’s freedom here — to challenge, improve, modernise and influence — and real visibility into how the business operates and grows.

What you’ll get involved in

Owning and improving financial control and reporting across multiple entities
Supporting integrations following recent and future acquisitions
Improving processes, controls and ways of working
Getting involved in systems and data improvements
Acting as a trusted finance partner to senior stakeholders

It’s not about ticking boxes — it’s about making finance work better as the business scales.

Progression & future opportunities

This role is designed with progression in mind.

There’s a clear succession plan and genuine headroom. Whether your ambition is to move into a Finance Director role, step into a broader senior commercial position, or lean into transformation and change, the exposure and experience you’ll gain here sets you up for it.

You won’t be stuck in an FC‑shaped box.

The culture

They take a grown‑up approach to work. Hybrid working, flexible hours, and a high‑trust environment where outcomes matter more than presenteeism. You’ll be surrounded by capable, collaborative people who value strong finance and good decision‑making.

Your background

Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA)
Experience in multi‑entity or group‑style environments
Strong grounding in financial control and reporting
Exposure to change, projects or business improvement
Comfortable being the senior finance voice in the room

What’s on offer

Private medical cover
Life assurance
Hybrid working and flexible hours
Clear progression and long‑term opportunity

If you’re looking for a broad, future‑facing Financial Controller role with genuine headroom and influence — rather than a sideways move — this is one to explore confidentially.
