Our client, a private healthcare organisation, is looking for a talented and driven Financial Controller to take on a central role within its finance function. This is a fantastic opportunity to shape and strengthen financial control and reporting, while playing a key part in driving forward a programme of continuous improvement and process transformation.
Working closely with the Finance Director, you will take ownership of the financial control environment, ensuring robust governance, high-quality reporting, and strong balance sheet integrity. You'll lead the month-end close process, produce insightful management reporting, and maintain oversight of banking, payroll, and payment controls. In addition, you will lead and develop a small finance team, fostering a high-performing and collaborative culture. You will also act as a key point of contact for audits and financial governance, working closely with internal and external stakeholders to ensure compliance with Group policies and best practice. This is a varied and hands-on role, combining technical delivery with the opportunity to influence, improve, and streamline processes across the organisation.
You will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with strong experience in financial control, reporting, and audit. You'll bring a proven track record of improving and transforming finance processes, alongside excellent technical expertise and attention to detail. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the confidence to challenge and drive positive change. Experience in a regulated or multi-entity environment would be advantageous.
This is an exciting and visible role offering real scope to make an impact. It will suit an ambitious and proactive finance professional who enjoys combining technical excellence with leadership, innovation, and continuous improvement in a collaborative, high-performing environment.
