Full job descriptionFinancial Controller
Leeds | Private Equity-Backed Business | Up to £80k + 10% Bonus


This role offers more scope than a typical Financial Controller position.


It’s a senior finance leadership position in a private equity-backed, multi-site business that’s growing, evolving, and needs someone who genuinely enjoys owning the detail and shaping what comes next.


If you like statutory reporting, aren’t fazed by complexity, and want to influence how a finance function develops, read on.


The role
You’ll lead financial control across, covering a sizeable multi-entity group structure.
Your focus will be on getting the fundamentals right, consistently and at pace, while helping the wider finance function scale sensibly as the business grows.


You’ll be responsible for:
*Leading statutory accounting and reporting across multiple legal entities.
*Owning the preparation, review and delivery of statutory accounts, ensuring accuracy, compliance and timely completion.
*Acting as the primary point of contact for external auditors and tax advisors.
*Overseeing corporation tax and VAT processes across the group.
*Delivering high-quality monthly management accounts that stakeholders trust.
*Leading and developing teams across Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable and Management Accounts.
*Improving processes, controls and systems with a clear focus on efficiency and scalability.


You’ll need to be comfortable in the detail, but also able to step back and see the bigger picture.


What makes this opportunity stand out
*A stable, experienced finance team with room to enhance capability.
*Clear separation between financial control and FP&A, allowing proper focus.
*Strong support from senior leadership, with finance viewed as a value-adding function.
*Private equity backing that brings pace, ambition and long-term investment.


About you
You’re likely to be:
*ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified.
*Operating in a Financial Controller or senior finance leadership role.
*Highly comfortable with multi-entity statutory reporting and audit management.
*Technically strong, with solid experience applying FRS 102.
*Experienced in overseeing tax and VAT, working effectively with external advisors.
*A confident people leader who enjoys developing teams and improving how things work.


The package
*Salary up to £80,000
*10% target bonus
*Hybrid working available
*A senior role with genuine influence and visibility
*Great additional benefits


Why apply?
This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong Financial Controller who wants:
*More ownership
*More influence
*And less corporate theatre


You’ll join a growing business at a point where strong financial control really matters and where your input will genuinely shape the future of the finance function.
