You’re running the numbers. But who’s counting on you?
You’re probably in a senior finance role already. Juggling reports. Mentoring juniors. Putting out fires. But how often do you get to genuinely shape the finance function, not just maintain it?
This group financial controller role gives you that opportunity.
You’ll be joining a financial services group with seven entities, where you’ll take the lead on all things financial control. That means owning the management accounts (including consolidations), driving process improvements, and making sure the board has rock-solid data to make commercial decisions.
The salary is £70,000 to £75,000 depending on experience. You’ll be based out of modern offices in East Leeds, with hybrid working available - 3 days in the office, 2 from wherever works best for you. It’s a full-time, permanent role, 37.5 hours a week.
You’ll manage a team of six (qualified and non-qualified), across purchase ledger, sales ledger, cash, and general accounting. You’ll also be the go-to for external audit, tax, payroll, capital adequacy reporting and systems implementation. You’ll work closely with FP&A and help the group move towards more automation and better reporting.
What you’ll need:
*Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with 5+ years in a senior finance role
*Strong experience consolidating group accounts
*Confident managing a small team
*Technically sound in UK GAAP, tax, and Excel
*Composure under pressure - you’ll be dealing with month-end deadlines, auditors, and regulators
*Bonus if you’ve worked in financial services or used Sage 200, but not a deal-breaker
You’ll get 26 days’ holiday plus bank hols, a discretionary bonus of up to 30%, a strong pension scheme, private healthcare, and the chance to make your mark at group level.
If you’re ready to step into a role with visibility, impact, and autonomy, this group financial controller position could be exactly what you’re looking for.
