Financial Controller

Fleet, Hampshire 80,000 + benefits

Vitae Financial Recruitment is working with a growing international organisation to recruit a Financial Controller for its UK finance function.

This is a newly created role offering the opportunity to take ownership of the financial control and technical accounting function across a number of UK entities, while helping shape the future structure of the finance team.

Reporting to the Head of Finance, you will lead financial control, month-end reporting and technical accounting, while managing and developing the existing finance team. You will also play a key role in improving processes and controls and supporting the transition to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

The role will initially be predominantly office-based in Fleet, particularly during the initial handover and transition period, with hybrid working expected to develop thereafter. The current expectation is around 1 day working from home, although this is open to discussion.

Candidates should ideally live within approximately a 30-minute drive of Fleet.

About you

We are looking for an experienced Financial Controller, or technically strong Senior Finance Manager, with:

Strong financial control and technical accounting experience

Experience managing and developing a finance team

Excellent month-end, balance sheet and reporting knowledge

A good understanding of UK accounting standards

Experience improving processes, controls and systems

The confidence to take ownership and challenge existing ways of working

Experience with Business Central / Microsoft Dynamics would be advantageous but is not essential

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to shape and develop a finance function, rather than simply inherit an established role.
