Financial Controller

Description:

Pitlochry Festival Theatre is Scotland’s largest building-based producing theatre company. It is a haven for artists, set in breath-taking Highland Perthshire surroundings.

We are more than a venue; we’re a community, a creative hub, and a home for transformative experiences. This is an incredibly exciting time for the Theatre as we continue to develop our programmes and physical home, and control of our finances has never been more crucial.

As part of a small core finance team, you will be responsible for bringing clarity to a complex business model and support the team in our mission to create life-changing experiences through the arts. Specifically, your duties will include but not be limited to:

* Production and review of monthly management accounts with detailed commentary and analysis – paying particular attention to key drivers of business performance

* Support the external audit process and the preparation of financial accounts

* Production of finance papers for the Board of Trustees and the Audit Committee

* Support the Director of Finance with a wide variety of strategic and commercial activities as well as the production of budgets, forecasts and re-forecasts

* Prepare quarterly Board Packs

Ideally, you will be a qualified accountant with post-qualified experience in a constantly evolving, cash-focussed organisation. Irrespective of background, you will have a keen eye for detail and be able to offer commercial insight and analysis to support the decision making process.

There's huge scope for development in this role, so please don't hesitate to speak with our retained advisor, Ivan McGeorge of McGeorge Appointments Ltd, on a formal/informal basis to learn more about us as an organisation and the role itself.

We are an equal opportunities employer, and we welcome applications from everyone regardless of race, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs
