Are you a Financial Controller looking for a business that is already in great shape - and wants you to make it even better? This is not a turnaround. There is no crisis to fix, no chaos to manage, and no fire to put out. This is a privately owned, £30 million turnover e-commerce business that has been growing steadily for years - and is now bringing in an experienced Financial Controller to help take things to the next level. The business is well-run, well-established, and financially healthy. What it is ready for now is sharper financial leadership. Better processes. Greater efficiency. And a qualified accountant who can sit alongside the CEO and help shape the direction of the business, not just report on it. Here is what makes this role genuinely interesting. The CEO is the former Financial Controller. They understand exactly what good finance looks like, they value the function, and they want a true right-hand person - not someone to hand reports to and wave off. You will have direct access, genuine influence, and a leadership team that speaks your language. You will inherit a small, solid finance team and have the scope to develop them. You will find plenty of opportunity to improve processes and drive efficiencies - not because things are broken, but because a growing business always has room to sharpen. And you will own the full financial operation: reporting, compliance, cash management, forecasting, budgeting, and the commercial insight that sits behind every significant decision. What is on offer: £70,000 to £80,000 starting salary + Benefits 33 days holiday including bank holidays4 days on site, 1 day WFH Clear progression opportunities - candidates are expected to grow with the business. Contributions are valued - no bureaucracy, quick and agile environment. You will be a qualified accountant (ACCA, CIMA, or ACA) with a background in an SME or commercial environment and the confidence to take full ownership of a finance function.
