Financial Controller - Succession plan to Head of Finance

FINANCIAL CONTROLLER

West Yorkshire | Hybrid | £65,000-£75,000 + progression + potential share options

This isn't a steady, plug-and-play Financial Controller position. This is a chance to step into a fast-growing business at the perfect moment - right in the middle of a transformation. The company has undergone a successful management buyout, is scaling rapidly, and is investing heavily in digital, data, and modernising its operations. They now need a Financial Controller who wants to own
, shape
, and elevate the finance function as the business grows.

"I want someone who's into the detail more than me... but who can just get on with things. Try it - if it doesn't work, change it again."

- Finance Director

1. You'll build the finance function your way

You won't be inheriting a static setup - you'll improve reporting, strengthen processes, modernise month-end, and push automation forward. Real ownership, real influence.

2. You'll become a commercial voice in the business

You'll work alongside Operations, Marketing, and Data/BI - analysing digital marketing ROI, driving manufacturing efficiency, improving margin insight, and supporting strategic decisions.

"I've taken the management pack from two pages to twenty-five. I expect the next leap - better reporting, better challenge, better insight."

- Finance Director

3. You'll accelerate toward future leadership roles

The business has a clear 3-4 year value-creation journey. For the right person, this role can evolve into Head of Finance
, FD
, and even include share options
.

"If you do fantastic work, it becomes very hard not to offer share options."
