You don’t need to "build the plane while flying it". The plane’s built. It just needs a sharper pilot.
This financial controller role is all about steering change - not firefighting chaos. It’s a PE-backed setup, mid-sized, stable, but with plenty of moving parts to keep you challenged.
You’ll be the right hand to the HOF, with full control over the day-to-day finance function. Think of it as your own mini-business within the business.
Up to £65,000 salary. Private equity exposure. A clear line of sight to a no.2 role. And the chance to lead a small, capable team through some meaningful transformation work. It’s based just north of Bradford, with hybrid working once you’re up to speed.
As financial controller, you’ll manage month-end, reporting, controls, and team development - but more than that, you’ll influence decisions. There’s ongoing investment and change happening, so your voice will carry weight across commercial, systems, and operational finance.
You don’t need a PE background, but you do need to know your way around a fast-paced SME or mid-market environment. You’ll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA), with hands-on experience managing people and improving processes.
You’ll also need to be comfortable challenging senior stakeholders and supporting business-wide change. It’s not a corporate machine - you’ll need to roll up your sleeves.
In return, you’ll get:
*£60,000 to £65,000 basic salary
*Hybrid working (2-3 days from home)
*Private healthcare
*25 days holiday + bank hols
*Direct access to an experienced HOF in a growing, well-backed business
This financial controller role isn’t a box-ticker. It’s for someone who wants to step into leadership and make a real dent in how a business runs.
