Financial Controller

The Opportunity

Are you a commercially minded finance leader with a talent for systems and the gravitas to influence at the board level?

We are partnering with an ambitious, forward-thinking client who is looking for a driven Financial Controller to take a highly visible role within their leadership team. This is not a back-office number-crunching position; it is a highly strategic, face-to-face role where you will bridge the gap between operational finance and executive decision-making.

If you are a Microsoft Dynamics champion who thrives in front of a board and enjoys driving systems change, this is an exceptional opportunity to make a tangible impact.

About Our Client

Our client is a highly successful and evolving business currently undergoing an exciting phase of operational maturity and growth. They value commercial acumen, proactive problem-solving, and finance professionals who can look beyond the spreadsheet to partner with the wider business.

Key Responsibilities

• Board-Level Influence: Take full ownership of designing, producing, and presenting comprehensive board packs.
• Executive Partnering: Act as a highly visible, face-to-face partner to the leadership team, with the confidence and communication skills to present financial narratives directly to board members.
• Systems & Process Transformation: Champion the company's finance technology. Lead upcoming system implementations and drive continuous optimization utilizing Microsoft Dynamics.
• Financial Leadership: Oversee all month-end, quarter-end, and year-end reporting, ensuring robust financial controls, compliance, and streamlined processes.
• Commercial Analysis: Challenge the status quo, providing robust financial analysis to support strategic growth and profitability initiatives.

The Ideal Candidate

• Qualifications: Fully ACA or ACCA qualified (this is an essential requirement).
• Systems Expertise: Strong, hands-on experience using Microsoft Dynamics is mandatory. You must have a proven track record of successful finance system implementations or major upgrades.
• Board Presence: Exceptional interpersonal and face-to-face communication skills. You must possess the professional gravitas to confidently present to, challenge, and advise board members and non-finance stakeholders.
• Experience: A proven background operating as a Financial Controller, with a strong blend of technical accounting knowledge and commercial foresight.
