Shape the Financial Future of a Growing Engineering Business

Are you an experienced Financial Controller looking for a role where you can make a genuine impact?

We're seeking a commercially minded finance professional to take full ownership of the finance function within a successful, well-established engineering and manufacturing business. Supplying high-quality products to customers across sectors including aerospace, automotive and medical, the business has built a reputation for technical excellence, innovation and long-term customer partnerships.

This is a pivotal leadership role reporting directly to the Managing Director, offering the opportunity to influence strategic decision-making while ensuring the business maintains the highest standards of financial control, governance and compliance.

If you're looking for a position where your expertise will be valued, your ideas welcomed, and your contribution visible across the organisation, we'd love to hear from you.

Financial Controller - The Role:

As Financial Controller, you'll lead all aspects of the finance function, providing accurate financial reporting, robust controls and commercially focused insight to support continued business success.

Key responsibilities include:

* Leading the day-to-day finance function and maintaining strong financial controls.

* Preparing monthly management accounts and delivering meaningful financial analysis.

* Producing budgets, forecasts and cash flow projections.

* Providing strategic financial advice to the Managing Director and senior leadership team.

* Liaising with external auditors and coordinating the annual audit process.

* Supporting Company Secretary responsibilities.

* Identifying opportunities to improve financial processes, reporting and business performance.

Financial Controller - Candidate Requirements:

You'll be an experienced finance professional who enjoys working in a hands-on SME environment where no two days are the same. Comfortable operating both strategically and operationally, you'll be confident working independently while building strong relationships across the business.

You'll ideally have:

* A professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).

* Previous experience leading the finance function within an SME.

* Strong knowledge of UK accounting standards, taxation and statutory compliance.

* Experience preparing management accounts, budgets and financial forecasts.

* Excellent understanding of financial controls, governance and risk management.

* Payroll oversight experience.

* Experience preparing statutory accounts and supporting Company Secretary duties.

* A proven track record of managing external audits.

* Strong cash flow management and balance sheet reconciliation experience.

* Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.

* Experience using accounting software and ERP systems, with SAP S/4HANA experience advantageous.

* Excellent analytical, organisational and communication skills.

* A proactive, commercially focused approach with exceptional attention to detail and integrity.

Financial Controller - What's on offer:

This is an outstanding opportunity to become a key member of the senior leadership team within a respected engineering business. You'll enjoy a broad and influential role with genuine autonomy, the opportunity to shape financial strategy, and the satisfaction of seeing the direct impact of your work on business performance.

Salary of £60,000

Annual sales bonus £5,000 pa (this could be significantly higher), subject to performance

Annual Profit Bonus £5,000 pa (this could be significantly higher), subject to performance

Pension up to 6% of basic salary (matched)

Holiday 25 days pa + statutory days

Benefits Death in Service insurance (non-contributory) Medical/Dental insurance (non-contributory)
