Leicestershire, United Kingdom Distinct | B Corp Full time

This is a fast-moving, product-led group with an experienced leadership team who see Finance as a genuine partner to the operation. The business is well-backed, growing, and at a stage where clearer reporting, smoother processes and thoughtful insight will make a real difference. It’s an environment with a solid foundation, but still plenty of room to influence how things develop. A place where you’ll be trusted, valued, and supported to make positive, lasting improvements. Offering £75,000–£95,000 (dependent on experience) + £6,000 car allowance + family healthcare + matched pension You don't need to be the finished article—they’re keen to hire for potential. They want someone who can grow with the business, not necessarily someone who's done it all already. As the business continues to evolve, they’re looking for a Group Financial Controller who brings calm confidence, technical assurance and a collaborative leadership style. Someone who enjoys making things work better — and who takes pride in creating clarity, consistency and good ways of working. You’ll work closely with a people-focused CFO who brings major retail, supply chain and owner-backed experience.

Why this opportunity Be part of a well-backed, product-led group with positive momentum Step into a role with real ownership and space to make thoughtful, lasting improvements Work closely with an experienced, approachable CFO Influence decisions in a meaningful, collaborative way Join a finance function that’s modernising, improving and investing in its future Benefit from hybrid working, supportive leadership and a grounded culture If you’re someone who enjoys bringing clarity, guiding others and helping a business work better through reliable finance leadership — this is a role worth exploring.
