Financial Controller - Manufacturing (18-Month FTC)
North West | Up to £90,000 + 25% Bonus + Company Car
Are you a driven, commercially astute Financial Controller looking for a role where you can genuinely influence business performance?
We're partnering with a market-leading manufacturing business to appoint a standout finance leader into a pivotal site-based role. This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a high-profile position on the senior leadership team, where you'll shape decision-making, drive performance, and leave a lasting impact.
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn't just a reporting role - it's a true business partnering opportunity. You'll be at the heart of operations, influencing strategy, challenging performance, and helping to drive profitability in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
With full ownership of the finance function on site, you'll have the autonomy to implement improvements, enhance controls, and build a best-in-class finance operation.
What You'll Be Doing

  • Taking full ownership of the site finance function, leading from the front

  • Delivering high-quality, insightful reporting that drives decision-making

  • Partnering with senior stakeholders across operations and leadership

  • Leading budgeting, forecasting, and performance tracking

  • Embedding strong financial controls and ensuring audit readiness

  • Ensuring robust SOX compliance, maintaining strong internal controls, and driving audit readiness

  • Driving cost control, efficiency, and continuous improvement initiatives

  • Managing and developing a high-performing finance team

  • Influencing strategic decisions and supporting long-term growth

What We're Looking For
  • Fully qualified accountant (CIMA / ACCA / ACA) - essential

  • Proven experience within a manufacturing environment

  • Strong SAP experience is key

  • A confident leader who can influence at senior level

  • Strong technical grounding combined with commercial insight

  • Experience managing and developing finance teams
Working Pattern
  • 4 days per week on site

  • 1 day working from home
Ready to Make an Impact?
If you're looking for a role where you can step up, take ownership, and make a real difference, this is a brilliant opportunity to join a forward-thinking organisation at a key moment.
