We are seeking a commercially minded financial leader to be part of that.This is not a passive role. It is not a bookkeeping position. It is a stewardship role - and we take that word seriously. THE OPPORTUNITYYou will work closely with the MD and Directors to ensure our finances are not merely recorded - but understood, managed, and used to drive better decisions. You will be a voice at the table, not a function behind the scenes.On some days you will be the calm and methodical guardian of compliance: PAYE, VAT, payroll, statutory filings - accurate, timely, zero drama. On others you will be the sharpest mind in the room on pricing, margin, cashflow, or cost.We need someone who moves elegantly between both modes - and who finds both genuinely engaging. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Full ownership of management accounts, ledgers, month-end reporting and audit readiness. HMRC compliance: accurate and timely PAYE, VAT, payroll and statutory submissions - handled with quiet competence. Cashflow forecasting and working capital discipline - you treat company money as your own. Job costing, product margin analysis, pricing support and gross margin improvement. Sales and pipeline financial insight - supporting quoting, revenue conversion and commercial decisions. Supplier, stock and inventory financial oversight and negotiation support. Scenario modelling and strategic financial planning in support of Directors. Continuous improvement of systems, controls and financial processes. WHO YOU ARE Commercial Instinct You see the story in the numbers, not just the numbers themselves. Cash Guardian You treat the company's money with the same care as your own. Compliance Competent PAYE, VAT, payroll - solid, reliable, no surprises. Operationally Present You engage with the shop floor, the product, the people. Communicative You can explain, persuade, and - when needed - challenge. Diligent & Proactive You see issues before they become problems. Culturally Invested You want to understand our heritage, not just our numbers. Flexible in Mode Steady when precision is needed. Sharp when growth demands it. QUALIFICATIONSACCA / CIMA / ACA preferred. Qualified By Experience (QBE) with a strong proven track record is equally welcomed. What matters most is not the letters after your name - it is the quality of your thinking and the strength of your judgement. WHY JOIN US A meaningful senior role in a respected, heritage "Made in England" business. Direct influence on the commercial and financial direction of the company. A collaborative, grounded environment where your voice genuinely matters. Flexibility in structure, for the right individual, without compromise on presence. The chance to help shape the next chapter of a business with real history and real pride. We are not simply hiring a Financial Controller. We are looking for the person who will become the financial conscience of this business - and one of its most trusted voices.
