Job Description
Financial Controller
Salary: £50,000 - £65,000 DOELocation: North Leeds (5 days on site)
Are you looking for a senior finance role where you can genuinely shape a business during a period of major transformation and growth?
This is an outstanding opportunity for an ambitious Finance Manager or Financial Controller to join a fast-expanding organisation in the UK primary care support and medical supplies sector.
This business is on a significant growth journey, with plans to double turnover within 3-4 years, integration of a sister company underway, and a full ERP system implementation taking place across the entire operation. As part of strengthening the finance function, they are now seeking a high-calibre finance leader to join the senior team and act as a key strategic partner across the division.
Why This Role Stands Out
High-growth environment - 20-25% annual growth typical across the division, with ambitious scale-up plans. Transformational projects - including full systems migration, process redesign and integration of another business. Strategic influence - you'll operate as the number two in finance, working closely with senior leadership (CFO/Director). End-to-end ownership - from financial control to commercial partnering, reporting and planning. Visibility across the business - working directly with operational and commercial leaders.
This is a rare chance to step into a role where you'll shape the future of the finance function while being hands-on with meaningful change.
Key Responsibilities
- Full ownership of financial accounting, controls and statutory compliance
- Preparation and review of monthly management accounts with detailed insight and variance analysis
- Acting as a business partner to operational and commercial leaders, driving performance and decision-making
- Line management, coaching and development of two finance team members
- Leading the transition to a new ERP system, including process improvement, testing and business-wide engagement
- Supporting integration activities with the sister business and embedding consistent financial processes
Skills & Experience
- Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
- Strong technical grounding in financial and management accounting
- Experience in a senior finance role such as Finance Manager / Financial Controller
- Proven ability to lead and develop a small team
- Confident communicator with strong stakeholder and business-partnering skills
Why Apply?
This role is ideal for someone looking to step into a senior finance position with real influence. You'll work closely with senior leadership, lead a capable team, shape processes, and play a pivotal role in a major transformation programme - all within a supportive, purpose-driven organisation.
If you're looking for a role that combines strategic input, operational ownership and the opportunity to build something exceptional during a period of high growth, this is it.
