Job description

Michael Page Finance is delighted to be retained on the search for a highly-commercial Financial Controller to join a rapidly-growing manufacturer of high-end furniture.

In this exciting role, you will work closely with the MD, Head of Operations, and Group Finance Director to apply meaningful insight into the financial performance of the business and support proposals for investment within the business.

Client Details

A well-established UK furniture manufacturer and installer specializing in providing high-quality furniture solutions to the hospitality sector, including hotels, holiday camps, restaurants, bars, and clubs. With a turnover of £14 million, we are known for our commitment to delivering both simple loose furniture refits and refreshers, as well as complex turnkey installation projects.

Description

This is a key role in the business with responsibility for:

• Working closely with the MD and Head of Operations to apply meaningful insight into the financial performance of the business and support proposals for investment.
• Working closely with the Group FD to support the development and integration of group strategic and operational planning and major group investment proposals.
• Developing further the monthly management accounts, associated analysis, and insight to support:
• The production of accurate and timely group consolidated accounts and reporting for the Bank and Group Board of Directors and CFG Executive Team (of which this role is a part).
• Working with the current administrative finance team while assessing with the MD and Group FD the most appropriate structure going forward to support accelerated growth.
• Being the Sage X3 champion to develop and leverage the investment to ensure it is used to its full potential while ensuring all areas of the business adhere to the necessary controls and procedures to maintain robust financial and operational controls. A key initial objective will be to ensure we adjust and tweak the way the system is being applied to ensure maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

Must have strong demonstrable experience in an operational accounting role within a highly commercial business. Experience of developing accounting systems and staff is also critical to ensure that the finance function and systems are 'fit for purpose.'

Must have strong analytical skills but be able to clearly communicate analysis to a range of stakeholders across various levels including operational staff, sales team, and directors. Must be a clear communicator with good management skills, emotional intelligence, and the ability to influence others across all disciplines.
