Financial Controller

This is a Financial Controller job for an international product / FMCG business based in Lancashire, with huge potential to lead a large team, reporting into the global CFO (based elsewhere).

As such you will be number 1 in finance in the UK, and be in a critical decision making capacity across finance, and non financial stakeholders in and among the business on site every day.

While this role has a traditional Financial Controller title, the role is far from standard. You will be comfortable leading a team of 5 qualified accountants who each lead chunky commercial initiatives, business partnering across a wide group of decision makers and ultimately deliver clear, timely financial reports as well as commercial insight to help make quick short and long term decisions.

You must therefore be a qualified accountant (ACA, CIMA, ACCA) with significant experience leading people, and a genuine blend of controls and commercial experience. You must be totally comfortable getting out from behind a desk into the business questioning logic, challenging decisions yet supporting a high performance culture. You will have worked in Manufacturing, FMCG or a similar product based sector, likely in an international group capacity. You will ideally be immediately available or reduced notice period.

This role offers an outstanding salary package, with excellent benefits across childcare, enhanced pension and private health. If you want to work in a complex, international company that also offers significant autonomy but stable employment, please don't hesitate to reach out.
