Description

Divisional Financial Controller

Hybrid (UK) | High-Growth Testing, Inspection & Certification Group

£65,000 - £75,000 per annum, plus £5,000 car allowance and benefits

A fast-growing, entrepreneurial testing, inspection, certification and compliance group is seeking a Divisional Financial Controller to support one of its global divisions.

The opportunity:

Reporting to the Divisional Finance Director, the Divisional Financial Controller will oversee the accuracy and integrity of the general ledger across several operating companies, providing high-quality analysis, insight and decision support. You will play a key role in the month-end and year-end processes, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting for the division.

This is a hybrid role, offering the chance to work closely with both finance and non-finance stakeholders in a dynamic, non-bureaucratic environment where your input will directly influence performance and growth.

Key responsibilities:

Lead the divisional month-end process and deliver monthly reporting packs.
Lead the year-end process, working closely with Group accounting and tax teams.

Own forecasting cycles and annual budgets for designated operating companies.

Provide timely financial insights and analysis to senior leaders and key stakeholders.

Build financial models, support scenario planning and investment appraisals for capital projects.

Play an active role in performance reviews, budget discussions, and cost control meetings.

Partner with colleagues across the business to highlight risks, opportunities and areas for improvement.

Drive efficiency by reviewing costs and identifying savings across operations and finance.

Provide trusted financial support and value-add analysis to operational teams to improve performance.

Work closely with the Divisional Finance Director to deliver insight that supports decision-making.

Develop strong working relationships with both finance and non-finance stakeholders across the businesses.

Identify and implement opportunities to improve day-to-day and monthly accounting processes.

Assist in the financial onboarding of newly acquired businesses as part of Group M&A activity.

About you:

Fully qualified accountant (CIMA/ACCA/ACA) with a minimum of 5 years’ experience in similar roles.

Strong understanding of UK GAAP/IFRS and proven experience managing the month-end close process.

Advanced Excel skills and experience with a range of accounting systems, from SME packages to ERP platforms.

Able to work independently, manage competing priorities and deliver to tight deadlines.

A self-starter with strong initiative and ownership of workload.

Close attention to detail, with the ability to adapt and respond while maintaining a clear understanding of underlying activities.

Relevant industry experience in testing, inspection, certification or related sectors is desirable but not essential.

What’s on offer

Opportunity to join a high-growth, acquisitive group with a dynamic and innovative culture, free from typical large-corporate bureaucracy.
Chance to influence performance across a key division contributing significant sales and EBITDA to the Group.
Hybrid working and exposure to senior stakeholders, M&A activity and strategic decision-making.
