Our client is a privately owned, multi-site group with turnover in the £50m–£100m range, operating across three entities – each currently on separate finance systems – and actively acquiring. The business has grown quickly and is now investing seriously in the professionalisation of its finance function: stronger controls, scalable processes, and the right leadership to support the next phase.

This is where you come in.

The Role

Reporting to the CFO, the Group Financial Controller will take ownership of financial control across the group, bringing rigour, structure and confidence to a business that has the commercial momentum to match its ambitions. You’ll lead a finance team of around five, plus resource at recently acquired subsidiaries, and work closely with the Board and senior leadership on everything from month end to acquisition integration.

The business is also mid-way through an ERP selection process – a genuine opportunity to shape the system infrastructure from the ground up, rather than inherit someone else’s decisions.

The CFO is commercially sharp and sets high standards. This is a great role for somebody who wants to be challenged and join a business through an exiting growth phase with a clear end goal. 

Key Responsibilities

• Full ownership of group month-end close and multi-entity consolidations
• Board financial reporting and balance sheet ownership
• Oversight of stock, WIP, provisions, debtors and creditors
• Statutory accounts, tax compliance and audit – lead contact for all external advisers
• Design and embedding of financial controls, policies and governance frameworks
• Cash flow management, working capital control and short-term forecasting
• Financial risk, covenant monitoring and banking compliance
• Review and challenge of commercial finance forecasts and models
• Acquisition support: due diligence, financial control and post-deal integration
• ERP selection, implementation oversight and ongoing process improvement

Who We’re Looking For

• Fully qualified (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) – practice background, ideally Top 10 or Big 4, preferred
• Proven track record in a senior group financial control role across multiple entities
• Manufacturing or operationally intensive sector experience advantageous
• Strong technical accounting – someone who genuinely enjoys getting into the detail
• Confident communicator with Board-level exposure
• The kind of person who builds things properly, not just maintains them

Package

• Salary: £80,000 – £100,000
• Hybrid working with regular on-site presence in Leeds
• Full-time, permanent

The Opportunity
A well-capitalised, cash-generative business. A CFO who will back you. A finance function being built for scale. And an ERP project that needs someone with the experience to get it right. For the right FC, this is a role with real substance – and real influence.

You’ll have genuine visibility across the group, a close working relationship with the Head of Finance, and the satisfaction of seeing your work directly shape business decisions.

You’ll take the lead on management accounts across four group companies, overseeing month end reporting, ledgers, reconciliations, and service charge budgets. You’ll mentor and supervise two Assistant Accountants, ensure compliance is watertight, and deliver clear financial insight to senior leadership.

You’re a qualified or experienced accountant who’s comfortable producing full sets of accounts and keeping multiple plates spinning without dropping any. Experience in property or multi entity environments is a bonus, but your attention to detail, organisation, and confidence in a hands on team matter more.

• £45,000 – £55,000 salary
• 35-hour working week
