Financial Reporting, Accounting Manager
We're on the lookout for a dynamic and detail-oriented Financial Controller to become a key part of our ambitious and growing team at Fletchers Group. In this pivotal role, you'll take full ownership of financial control, reporting, and compliance across the business, laying the foundations for scalable and sustainable growth. This role will report directly to the Group CFO and will play a key part in supporting strategic decision‑making and financial leadership across the organisation.
It's a hands‑on leadership position where you'll immerse yourself in the day‑to‑day operations to assess current capabilities, identify gaps, and set the stage for future transformation. Alongside building a high‑performing team, you will also lead a revamp of our reporting processes; streamlining outputs to make them faster, more accurate, and more insightful. It's a great opportunity to join a private equity‑backed business that's expanding rapidly both organically and through acquisition.
Your insights and direction will be vital in shaping the future of the finance function and helping to drive the business forward. If you're a proactive, commercially minded finance professional ready to make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
