Axon Moore are working in exclusive partnership with our client to recruit a Group Financial Controller.

Our client is a highly successful privately owned business with multi-site operations across the UK. The business is profitable, with a strong balance sheet, and expects to grow by 20% in the coming years via a mixture of both organic means and acquisition.

Key duties will include:
  • Production of monthly consolidated group accounts, reconciliations and KPIs
  • Production and consolidation of group budgets and financial plans
  • Production of monthly and annual reports to identify results, trends and forecasts
  • Overseeing group cash-flow, preparation of forecasts and treasury management
  • Consolidation of weekly site flash reports
  • Driving improvements across process, systems usage, financial controls across the business
  • Building value-adding relationships with senior operational management across the business to drive improved financial performance
Key skills and experience:
  • Must be fully qualified, ACA is highly desirable
  • Strong up-to-date technical financial accounting knowledge
  • Can demonstrate previously driving process improvements
  • Highly motivated and pro-active self starter
  • Experience of having worked in a multi-site environment greatly preferred
The role is essentially technical in focus yet requires an individual who has very strong communication skills. It is envisaged that the Group Financial Controller will offer challenge and advice to the business and by upskilling / developing their small group finance team will free up time to become more business focussed.   

The preference of my client is to hire an individual who is practice trained but has spent the last couple of years working out in industry. The business has succession plans in place which will allow the Group Financial Controller to progress within the business, so are keen to hire someone with ambition and an appetite for personal development.

The role will pay a salary of £50-55,000 + car allowance + bonus, pension and other benefits.
