*Financial Controller
*Newcastle upon Tyne
This is a rare and genuinely exceptional opportunity in the north east for an aspirational qualified accountant to progress their career and make a real impact on the regional landscape.

My client is based in Newcastle upon Tyne and is entering a pivotal phase of development.

This has resulted in the requirement for a Financial Controller to help support the Board and wider business through that period and beyond.

Reporting to the Chief Executive, the person will be part of the senior management team and play a key role in all aspects from day to day operations to strategic planning.

As such the successful candidate will be involved in all areas of the business from top to bottom. This will include elements of day to day financial management at a detailed level through to Board meetings, investor communications and associated presentations. Some travel to financial centres in both the UK and further afield may be required to fulfill the remit.

It is anticipated that the person will develop into a fully fledged CFO in time, resulting in a Board position with associated remuneration and rewards.

Potential candidates should be qualified accountants with development potential. Aside from familiarity with the accounting basics and financial moddelling you will have the ability to provide ongoing commercial and pragmatic advice, whilst exhibiting the gravitas to contribute in meetings with investors and third party advisers.

Basic salary is likely to initially be in the £75,000 to £85,000 pa range but will not be a barrier for the right candidate, share options will also be made available.
