Following recent private equity investment to support continued growth, the CFO is looking to recruit a Financial Controller / Head of Finance with a view to longer term succession planning.
The business continues to move forward with a focused business plan which sees investment into new product development, increased sales through multiple channels and strong branding, plus international growth to mirror the success within the UK.
The role will have two key objectives; ensuring growth happens with sound financial control, but also bringing a strong business partnering approach providing value-adding information to aid senior commercial decision making.
Key responsibilities
• Lead, direct and develop the finance team to provide statutory and management information
• Budgeting, forecasts, cash management and KPI reporting for both internal decision makers and the external investors

• Oversee all day to day activities and payments including currency and evaluating exposures
• Work closely with operations and the sales team reviewing ROI for new product development and entry into new markets, ensuring maximum margin is sustainable
The successful candidate will have strong technical accounting skills, is likely to have trained within a professional accountancy firm and will possess recent industry experience. Ideally you will have worked within a product based, retail, wholesale, manufacturing or FMCG environment.
