Financial Controller (Management Accountant)

£50-£60,000 DOE plus bonus

Are you a commercially focused Management Accountant with a passion for driving financial excellence, within an entrepreneurial environment? Can you navigate the complexities of international trade (and if you can speak French that would be a massive benefit)

If so this is an opportunity to join as a Financial Controller and play a pivotal role in shaping, growing and continuing the business success.

Our client is a £60 million, highly profitable (so no bad credit ratings or debts to negotiate) established business with a strong global presence. Committed to innovation and growth, they pride themselves on delivering exceptional products and services to customers worldwide.

The Role

Joining as a Financial Controller, you will be at the heart of financial operations, bringing your expertise as a management accountant to provide strategic insights, ensure robust financial controls, and enhance commercial decision-making. This is working within an 'owner business' and you will want to bring fresh ideas to a broader portfolio which includes properties and diversified business interests.

You will also oversee international trade activities, having experience of multi-currency trade working closely with cross-functional teams to optimise profitability and efficiency in a global context.

Key Responsibilities

* Ensure accurate and timely financial reporting.

* Develop and maintain robust financial controls and processes.

* Deliver insightful management reports to support strategic decision-making.

* Analyse financial performance and identify opportunities for growth and cost optimization.

* Manage budgets, forecasts, and variance analysis to drive commercial success.

* Oversee international trade operations, including currency risk management, trade compliance, and global cash flow.

* Collaborate with commercial teams to evaluate pricing strategies, market opportunities, and contract negotiations.

* Ensure compliance with relevant regulations, standards, and policies across multiple jurisdictions.

About You
To thrive in this role, you should bring:

* A professional accounting qualification (CIMA, ACCA, ACA, or equivalent).

* Proven experience as a management accountant, ideally in a commercially focused role.

* Strong knowledge of international trade, including logistics, customs, and currency management.

* Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills with a strategic mindset.

* Excellent communication and leadership abilities to influence stakeholders and drive initiatives.

* Proficiency in financial systems and tools, ideally Sage 200 with advanced Excel skills.

What's on Offer

A competitive salary and benefits package.
Opportunities for professional growth and development.
A collaborative and inclusive workplace culture.
The chance to make a significant impact in a globally focused business.
