Financial Controller

£50,000 to £55,000

Sheffield, South Yorkshire

Interim & Permanent Opportunity Available

ABPM are working exclusively with an innovative South Yorkshire SME manufacturer. The client wishes to appoint a Financial Controller to support the leadership team and manage a small department. This will be a broad, business-facing, and commercially impactful role which will see the successful applicant take ownership of management accounts production and financial reporting, whilst providing financial insights and development of the existing team.

The ideal candidate will be a confident communicator with a drive to push forward processes and deliver financial insights to the wider business. Preferably, they will have spent time in a production-based environment and be someone who takes ownership of the impact of finance whilst still being hands-on in delivering the numbers.

It could suit an experienced Management Accountant / Business Partner looking for a step up or an established Finance Manager / Controller seeking a new challenge.

Main duties:

• Producing monthly management accounts and financial reporting.
• Preparing budgets and forecasts and tracking performance against them.
• Providing clear, meaningful performance analysis and insights to the senior leadership team to support commercial decisions.
• Driving improvements in reporting, systems and processes, including automation and better use of financial data.
• Leading and developing the transactional finance team (AP, AR, credit control and payroll), setting priorities and ensuring day-to-day processes run smoothly.
• Maintaining robust financial controls, reconciliations and audit-ready processes.
• Managing cash flow forecasting and working capital, flagging risks early and recommending practical solutions.
• Partnering with operational colleagues to understand costs, stock and margins.
