Group Financial Controller £100,000 + c.20% Bonus + 35 Days Holiday + Benefits Location: Derbyshire Hybrid 2-3 days on-site with flexibility How often do you get all of it? A sector you can get genuinely excited about. A business with real scale and momentum. A transformation mandate with the authority to actually deliver it. A CFO relationship that will stretch and develop you. And the flexibility to make the role work around you. This is one of those roles. We're working with a well-established, profitable business with significant revenue, a loyal customer base, and a clear growth agenda now firmly in motion.

Maintaining a robust control environment with strong balance sheet governance and audit readiness. Working closely with FP&A and commercial finance to support better decision-making across the business. Beyond the core control remit, there's a real transformation angle. You'll lead the move away from legacy finance systems, drive process redesign, embed automation, and help build a scalable finance function that's fit for the next phase of growth. You'll also lead and develop a growing team, raising standards, building capability, and creating a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
