SF Partners is delighted to be supporting a successful manufacturing organisation in the appointment of a Financial Controller & Company Secretary. This is far more than a traditional Financial Controller role. Working directly alongside the Managing Director, you'll become a key member of the senior leadership team, helping shape business strategy while leading the finance function and supporting operational performance across the site. The business forms part of a well-established manufacturing group with an impressive customer base and an excellent reputation within its sector.

You'll be responsible for: Leading, developing and mentoring the Finance and local IT teams. Delivering timely management accounts, insightful reporting and meaningful commercial analysis. Driving budgeting, forecasting and long-term financial planning. Partnering with the Managing Director and senior leadership team to support commercial decision making. Managing cash flow, treasury, foreign exchange and working capital. Overseeing standard costing, inventory and manufacturing performance analysis.

A strong manufacturing background with a good understanding of operational finance and standard costing. Experience leading and developing finance teams. Excellent business partnering skills with the confidence to influence at Board level. A commercial mindset combined with a hands-on approach. ERP experience (SAP would be advantageous). Why this opportunity?: This genuinely is more than the average Financial Controller roles on the market. Very few offer this combination of autonomy, strategic influence and the backing of a successful group. You'll join a collaborative leadership team who genuinely value finance as a commercial partner, giving you the opportunity to influence key business decisions while continuing to improve an already successful operation. If you're an experienced manufacturing finance leader looking for a role where you can genuinely make a difference, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.
