Financial Controller

Full-Time | Permanent | Office Based

Join a Growing Engineering Business Where You Can Make a Real Impact

I'm delighted to be partnering with a successful and expanding engineering business to recruit an experienced Financial Controller.

Reporting directly to the Managing Director, this is a fantastic opportunity for a commercially minded, hands-on finance leader who enjoys operating at both strategic and operational levels. You'll take ownership of the finance function, lead a small team, and play a key role in supporting the continued growth of the business.

This is far more than a traditional reporting role—you'll be a trusted business partner, influencing decision-making and driving financial performance across the organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the preparation of monthly management accounts, board reports, budgets and forecasts
• Manage cash flow, working capital and treasury activities
• Develop and enhance financial controls, systems and processes
• Oversee payroll, VAT, CIS and statutory reporting
• Monitor project and contract profitability, providing commercial insight and recommendations to the senior leadership team
• Ensure accurate WIP reporting, revenue recognition and payment applications
• Support strategic planning and business growth initiatives
• Lead, mentor and develop a small finance team

About You

You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with a strong background in engineering, construction or contracting environments.

You'll also have:

• Proven experience managing WIP, revenue recognition and payment applications
• Strong commercial awareness with the ability to influence senior stakeholders
• Experience improving finance processes, controls and systems
• Excellent leadership, communication and organisational skills
• A proactive, hands-on approach with the confidence to challenge and add value

What's on Offer?

Salary of £65,000 - £72,000

Enhanced pension scheme

Private medical insurance

Generous holiday allowance

On-site parking

A genuine opportunity to influence the direction of a growing business

Direct exposure to the Managing Director and senior leadership team

If you're looking for a broad Financial Controller role where your commercial input will genuinely shape the future of the business, I'd love to hear from you.
