Group Financial Controller

Job Title: Group Financial Controller
Location: Derbyshire
Salary: £60,000 - £85,000 (DOE)

Are you an experienced finance professional ready to take the next step towards Finance Director and, ultimately, CFO?

We're working with a rapidly growing SME business in Derbyshire that has ambitious expansion plans through further acquisition.

As the organisation continues to grow, they're looking to appoint a commercially minded Group Financial Controller to develop a scalable finance function and become a key part of the leadership team.

The Opportunity
This is a rare opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of its growth journey.

Initially, you'll take on a hands-on role, getting under the skin of the business, bringing together financial reporting across multiple entities and creating a robust group finance structure. Once those foundations are in place, you'll have the autonomy to shape the future of the finance function, build your own team and play a key role in supporting future acquisitions.

This is the ideal role for an ambitious Financial Controller who's ready for a broader leadership position whilst still enjoying being close to the detail.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the Group finance function across multiple entities.
• Produce consolidated management accounts and Group reporting.
• Improve financial reporting, controls and processes across the business.
• Manage budgeting, forecasting and cashflow reporting.
• Provide commercial financial insight to senior leadership.
• Support future acquisitions through financial due diligence and integration.
• Develop a scalable finance structure to support continued business growth.
• Play a key role in building and developing the finance team as the business expands.

What We're Looking For

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified.
• Experience producing consolidated accounts within a multi-entity environment.
• Strong understanding of group reporting, cashflow and financial controls.
• Previous exposure to acquisitions or business integration would be advantageous.
• A hands-on approach with the ambition to grow into a broader strategic leadership role.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Join a business with ambitious acquisition and growth plans.
• Genuine opportunity to shape and build the Group finance function.
• Progression towards Finance Director as the business continues to scale.
• Opportunity to recruit and develop your own finance team.
• High level of exposure to acquisitions, commercial decision-making and senior leadership.

If you're an ambitious Financial Controller looking for the opportunity to make a genuine impact within a growing organisation and progress your career into a senior finance leadership position, we'd love to speak with you.
