Job Description:
Full job descriptionThis is a rare and genuinely exciting opportunity for an ambitious Financial Controller to join a well-established, privately owned UK SME at a pivotal stage of its growth journey!

Reporting directly to the CFO, the key duties will be:
*Deliver core financial reporting including Stats & MI Packs
*Continuously develop the group’s financial systems & processes to deliver high quality management information
*Lead the finance team in building a valued ’business partnership’ relationship with the wider business
