Financial Controller Coalville Up to £55,000 Potential progression to Head of Finance / Finance Director Most Financial Controller jobs are about stepping into an established finance function and keeping things moving. This one is a bit different. You'll be joining a profitable, cash-rich and growing SME that has got to the point where the finance function now needs to develop alongside the business. That's really the opportunity here. The business has grown well, has a strong underlying operation and has further growth planned over the next few years, including acquisitions. They now want someone internally who can take more ownership of finance, improve the quality of reporting and help build a function that can support a much bigger business. The role Initially, there will definitely be a hands-on element. You'll be taking ownership of the numbers, improving management reporting, developing cash flow forecasting and getting much closer to margins, job profitability and overall business performance. There are also plenty of processes that can be improved. They're changing systems, reviewing how things are currently done and looking at what can sensibly be brought back in-house from the external accountants. The information is there, but they want someone who can turn it into better management information and give the MD a much clearer view of what is actually driving the business. You'll be working with a small finance team , reporting directly to the MD, with an external fractional CFO also there to support you as the role and finance function develop. Where could it go? This is probably the most interesting part. They're not recruiting a Financial Controller because somebody has left. They're recruiting because the business has grown and they need somebody who can grow with it. There is further growth planned, including acquisitions, and as the business becomes larger the finance function will naturally need to become more sophisticated as well. For the right person, there is a genuine opportunity for the role to develop into Head of Finance and potentially Finance Director over time. So you're not just coming in to run what already exists. You'll have a real opportunity to shape what finance looks like as the business grows. What are they looking for? Someone practical, commercially minded and happy working in an SME environment. You could be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, part-qualified, or qualified by experience (QBE) . They're open-minded on qualification and are more interested in finding someone with the right level of experience who can genuinely take ownership of the role. You'll need good experience around management accounts, cash flow, reporting, margins and ideally job costing. A background in engineering, manufacturing, services, maintenance, logistics or another operational business would be useful, but they're pretty open-minded on sector. More important is finding someone who can get into the detail when needed, but also step back and look at the bigger picture. Someone who enjoys improving things rather than just maintaining them. Package • Salary up to £55,000 • 25 days holiday + bank holidays • Pension • Free parking • Office-based in Coalville • One day working from home available after successful completion of the six-month probation period • Flexibility around family commitments • Genuine longer-term progression towards Head of Finance / Finance Director If you're looking for a Financial Controller role where everything is already perfectly set up and the job is simply to keep it ticking over, this probably won't be for you. But if you like the idea of joining a successful growing business, improving what's already there and potentially building the finance function you could one day lead, it's definitely worth a conversation.

The Role Are you ready for your next roll? Are you a Class 2 Multi-Drop Driver looking for a role with a bit more substance (and crust!), this could be your moment to prove you're made of the right dough. Function: Distribution Contract: Full-time, Permanent Hours: 43 hours per week, starting between 03:30 and 04:00 Salary: £783.69 Per Week Essential Ingredients Full UK Driving Licence with Class C entitlement Digital Tacho Card Full Driver CPC As the UK's No 1 bakery brand, we've been baking up a storm since 1876. Today, we're a proud sixth-generation family business, delivering over 70 products to more than 18,000 retail customers from 11 bakeries and 16 depots-including gluten and wheat-free options.

Your afternoons are all yours. You'll enjoy plenty of autonomy.
