Financial Controller 9 views

Financial Controller

• Twickenham
• £50,000 – £55,000
• 5 hours Monday-Friday
• Parking Permit
• Clear route to Finance Director

Ready to step up and make your mark?

If you are  a Financial Controller (or a strong No.2 ready to step up) who wants more ownership, more influence, and a genuine path to FD  this is the role you’ve been waiting for.

This is not a “sit back and maintain” position. This is a chance to come into a fast-growing, ambitious business, shape the finance function, and grow alongside it.

You’ll be joining a dynamic SME that’s part of a wider group with three operating divisions giving you exposure to group-level reporting and complexity, without losing the agility of an entrepreneurial environment.

Why this role stands out

• Clear progression to Finance Director as the business grows
• High-growth environment — scaling quickly with exciting plans ahead
• Direct access to leadership — work closely with an impressive Director
• Influence & autonomy — your ideas will be heard and implemented

What you’ll be doing

This is a hands-on, all-round role where no two days look the same.

You’ll:

• Take ownership of the day-to-day finance function, including high-volume transactions
• Produce monthly management accounts and deliver clear, meaningful insights
• Lead on cashflow forecasting, budgeting, and planning
• Partner with stakeholders across the business to improve performance and profitability
• Manage and develop a small finance team
• Support group reporting and work across multiple entities
• Help shape processes as the business continues to scale

You’ll need to be just as comfortable rolling up your sleeves as you are contributing at a strategic level.

What we’re looking for

• ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified or qualified by experience
• Experience working within a group structure (important)
• Strong systems skills, Xero experience preferred
• A proactive, hands-on approach with a commercial mindset
• Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, changing environment

Bonus if you’ve worked in manufacturing, engineering, logistics or haulage but not essential.

The bigger picture

This is perfect for someone who:

• Feels stuck in their current role with limited progression
• Wants to step into a more visible, influential position
• Is excited by growth, change, and building something

You won’t just be reporting numbers here  you’ll be helping shape the future of the business.
