If you enjoy managing teams and driving forward change then this role will be instantly attractive to you. We are on the hunt for a dynamic Group Finance Controller to join an ambitious and growing business, based in the Leeds city region. Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a great opportunity to drive change and own the finance function within a growing private equity-backed company.

This role requires someone who can show they have a vision for what a best-in-class function looks like - and how they would go and implement that vision. This is a brilliant opportunity to take a step towards a Group FD and ultimately CFO position. 

Your objectives:

• Oversee internal and external financial reporting across multiple entities
• Manage month-end processes and statutory audits
• Drive process improvements and system automation
• Lead cash flow forecasting, tax, and VAT compliance
• Develop strong relationships with stakeholders across the business
• Lead Capex projects

What we are looking for:

• Someone with a track record of delivering change
• ACA/ACCA/CIMA qualification
• Proven experience in Finance Controllership (or similar roles in a group setting)
• Proven leadership skills
• Passion for driving change and inspiring high-performing teams
• Solid knowledge of FRS102, tax, VAT, and audit processes

Flexibility: While office-based to support the transactional team, some flexibility for remote working will be offered.

This is a great opportunity to be a strong number 2 to an experienced CFO, offering superb exposure and the opportunity for personal growth. If you are a hands-on leader with a passion for financial management and team development, this is the role for you.
