Job Description:
Are you an ambitious Financial Controller looking to make a real impact in a private equity-backed business?
We’re working with a high-growth, PE-backed equipment-led business entering an exciting phase of expansion. With significant investment and a clear growth strategy, the business is now looking to appoint a commercially focused Financial Controller to strengthen the finance function and support the next stage of its journey.
This is a pivotal position, working closely with the CFO and senior leadership team. You’ll take ownership of financial control, reporting, and process improvement, while playing a key role in driving performance and supporting strategic initiatives.
Key responsibilities include:
*Leading the month-end close and delivering accurate, timely management accounts
*Owning financial reporting, controls, and compliance across the business
*Managing and developing the finance team
*Delivering robust cashflow forecasting and working capital management
*Partnering with operational teams to drive performance and profitability
*Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and board reporting
*Enhancing systems, controls, and reporting processes
*Acting as a key finance lead for projects, growth initiatives, and potential acquisitions
We’re looking for a driven, commercially minded finance professional who thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
You will likely be:
*ACA qualified with a strong audit background
*An experienced Financial Controller or a strong Finance Manager ready to step up
*Experienced within SME, PE-backed, or high-growth environments
*Confident managing month-end, reporting, and financial controls
*Commercially aware, with the ability to partner with non-finance stakeholders
*A proactive leader, capable of improving processes and driving change
Sector experience in equipment, engineering, distribution, or asset-heavy businesses is advantageous but not essential.
*Join a private equity-backed business with a clear growth trajectory
*Work closely with an experienced CFO and leadership team
*Play a key role in scaling the business and improving performance
*Genuine opportunity to progress towards a Finance Director role
*Fast-paced, high-impact environment where you can add real value
