Job Title: Group Financial Controller Location: Derbyshire Salary: £60,000 – £85,000 (DOE) Are you an experienced finance professional ready to take the next step towards Finance Director and, ultimately, CFO? We’re working with a rapidly growing SME business in Derbyshire that has ambitious expansion plans through further acquisition. As the organisation continues to grow, they’re looking to appoint a commercially minded Group Financial Controller to develop a scalable finance function and become a key part of the leadership team. The Opportunity This is a rare opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of its growth journey. Initially, you’ll take on a hands-on role, getting under the skin of the business, bringing together financial reporting across multiple entities and creating a robust group finance structure. Once those foundations are in place, you’ll have the autonomy to shape the future of the finance function, build your own team and play a key role in supporting future acquisitions. This is the ideal role for an ambitious Financial Controller who’s ready for a broader leadership position whilst still enjoying being close to the detail. Key Responsibilities • Lead the Group finance function across multiple entities. • Produce consolidated management accounts and Group reporting. • Improve financial reporting, controls and processes across the business. • Manage budgeting, forecasting and cashflow reporting. • Provide commercial financial insight to senior leadership. • Support future acquisitions through financial due diligence and integration. • Develop a scalable finance structure to support continued business growth. • Play a key role in building and developing the finance team as the business expands. What We’re Looking For • ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified. • Experience producing consolidated accounts within a multi-entity environment. • Strong understanding of group reporting, cashflow and financial controls. • Previous exposure to acquisitions or business integration would be advantageous. • A hands-on approach with the ambition to grow into a broader strategic leadership role. Why This Role Stands Out • Join a business with ambitious acquisition and growth plans. • Genuine opportunity to shape and build the Group finance function. • Progression towards Finance Director as the business continues to scale. • Opportunity to recruit and develop your own finance team. • High level of exposure to acquisitions, commercial decision-making and senior leadership. If you’re an ambitious Financial Controller looking for the opportunity to make a genuine impact within a growing organisation and progress your career into a senior finance leadership position, we’d love to speak with you.
