SF Recruitment are working with a PE-backed business in Alfreton to recruit a Financial Controller. Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a broad leadership role with responsibility for the day-to-day finance function across the Group. You'll lead and develop the finance team whilst ensuring the business has strong reporting, controls and financial information to support its continued development. It's a good opportunity for an established Financial Controller, or a strong Senior Finance Manager ready to take on broader ownership, who enjoys being close to both the numbers and the wider business.

The role

You'll take responsibility for:

• Leading, mentoring and developing the finance team
• Ownership of month-end and year-end reporting
• Producing management accounts and reporting packs for senior leadership
• Maintaining strong balance sheet controls and reconciliations
• Cash flow forecasting, treasury and working capital oversight
• Leading annual budgets, rolling forecasts and scenario planning
• Providing profitability, KPI and commercial analysis to the leadership team
• Supporting operational stakeholders with financial insight and decision-making
• Managing the external audit and statutory reporting process
• Overseeing VAT and other statutory returns
• Improving finance processes, controls, reporting and systems
• Supporting the CFO with wider finance projects and strategic initiatives

What we're looking for

Ideally you’ll be:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
• Experienced at Financial Controller, Senior Finance Manager or similar level
• Comfortable leading and developing a finance team
• Strong across both financial and management accounting
• Experienced with budgeting, forecasting, audit and statutory reporting
• Commercial enough to turn financial information into useful insight for the wider business
• Strong on Excel and comfortable working with ERP/finance systems

Experience within a multi-site environment would be particularly useful, although it isn't essential. NetSuite experience would also be beneficial.
