Our client, a rapidly scaling multi-site operator in Derby, is seeking a Financial Controller to join their team. This is an exciting opportunity to step into a pivotal finance leadership position within a business that's on track to double its turnover over the next 18 months. The role will involve supporting the CEO and SLT in building out the finance function, improving controls and reporting, and helping to integrate new sites. A multi-site background is essential here.

What You'll Do
As a Financial Controller, you will play a crucial role in shaping the future of our client's business. You will be responsible for leading the finance operations, managing cash flow, improving processes, and supporting site managers. Your expertise will be instrumental in integrating new acquisitions into the existing finance structure. This role offers an excellent opportunity for someone who is commercially minded and eager to make a significant impact during a key phase of growth.

In Summary

  • Lead day-to-day finance operations, including oversight of a small transactional finance team.
  • Take ownership of monthly management accounts, reconciliations, and group reporting packs.
  • Work with external accountants on statutory reporting and audit prep.
  • Manage short- and medium-term cash flow forecasting, support banking relationships, and oversee funding drawdowns.
  • Identify inefficiencies and introduce standardised processes, with a view to automation and improved reporting accuracy.
  • Partner with operational teams and support site managers in understanding financial performance.
  • Support onboarding of new acquisitions into the finance structure.

What You Bring

  • Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), ideally with experience in SME or highly acquisitive environments.
  • Multi-site experience is absolutely essential.
  • Strong technical grounding, combined with the ability to work independently in a hands-on finance function.
  • Experience improving processes and financial controls in fast-paced, multi-site businesses.
  • Exposure to cash and working capital management in growth or leveraged settings.
  • A confident communicator, comfortable engaging with both finance and non-finance stakeholders.
  • Resilience and a pragmatic mindset — able to bring structure to a fast-moving and evolving business.

This will be a role that will involve a little travellingto the organisation's sites.
