Join a Growing Engineering Business Where You Can Make a Real Impact
I'm delighted to be partnering with a successful and expanding engineering business to recruit an experienced Financial Controller.
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, this is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded, hands-on finance leader who enjoys operating at both strategic and operational levels. You'll take ownership of the finance function, lead a small team, and play a key role in supporting the continued growth of the business.
This is far more than a traditional reporting role—you'll be a trusted business partner, influencing decision-making and driving financial performance across the organisation.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead the preparation of monthly management accounts, board reports, budgets and forecasts
* Manage cash flow, working capital and treasury activities
* Develop and enhance financial controls, systems and processes
* Oversee payroll, VAT, CIS and statutory reporting
* Monitor project and contract profitability, providing commercial insight and recommendations to the senior leadership team
* Ensure accurate WIP reporting, revenue recognition and payment applications
* Support strategic planning and business growth initiatives
* Lead, mentor and develop a small finance team
About You
You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with a strong background in engineering, construction or contracting environments.
You'll also have:
* Proven experience managing WIP, revenue recognition and payment applications
* Strong commercial awareness with the ability to influence senior stakeholders
* Experience improving finance processes, controls and systems
* Excellent leadership, communication and organisational skills
* A proactive, hands-on approach with the confidence to challenge and add value
What's on Offer?
Salary of £65,000 - £72,000
Enhanced pension scheme
Private medical insurance
Generous holiday allowance
On-site parking
A genuine opportunity to influence the direction of a growing business
Direct exposure to the Managing Director and senior leadership team
If you're looking for a broad Financial Controller role where your commercial input will genuinely shape the future of the business, I'd love to hear from you.
