Some finance roles are about keeping score. This one is about helping build something. We're working with a rapidly scaling North East business that's gone from start-up to multi-million-pound growth in a remarkably short space of time. Operating across specialist industrial and offshore projects, they're entering a critical stage of growth and now need a Financial Controller who can help bring structure, visibility and control to the journey. As the first full-time finance hire, you'll work directly with the founders to shape the future of the finance function.

If you enjoy autonomy, variety and the chance to genuinely influence a growing business, this could be the role that accelerates your career. What's in it for you? The opportunity to build and shape a finance function from the ground up Direct exposure to entrepreneurial founders and strategic decision making Genuine autonomy and influence within a fast-growing business Broad commercial exposure across projects, operations and manufacturing Future progression potential as the company continues to scale Bonus potential linked to contribution and performance The role Responsibilities will include: Monthly management accounts, budgeting and forecasting Cashflow management and financial planning Project accounting and commercial analysis Managing invoicing, payables, receivables and reconciliations Improving systems, controls and reporting processes Supporting operational and strategic decision making Working closely with external accountants and advisors Taking ownership of bookkeeping and transactional finance activities in the short term What they're looking for Experience within a Financial Controller, Finance Manager or senior management accounting role Strong commercial awareness and cashflow management experience Someone comfortable balancing strategic finance responsibilities with hands-on finance tasks Confidence operating independently within a fast-paced environment Experience producing meaningful management information and insight A proactive mindset with the ability to spot problems before they happen Ideally experience within project-led, engineering, manufacturing or industrial environments Fully qualified accountants are encouraged to apply, although strong qualified-by-experience candidates will also be considered. This is a fully office-based role in Middlesbrough. To find out more, apply now or contact Paul Card Recruitment for a confidential conversation.
