Part-Time Financial Controller Thirsk Pro-Rata up to £70,000

Ever felt ready to take the reins just not full-time?

This could be a good fit.

This is a part-time Financial Controller role (circa 3 days per week) with flexibility on how those hours are worked, plus hybrid working. You’ll be supported by an experienced FD and stepping into a genuine “first FC” opportunity just on a part-time basis.

You’ll be joining a fast-paced, ambitious business that’s growing and hungry for more. They’ve already doubled revenue in recent years and aren’t slowing down. That growth brings more complexity, more commercial decisions, and meaningful work without needing a five-day week.

The FD is hands-on, commercially sharp and genuinely invested in developing their team. You’ll get support and space, not micromanagement. It’s a role that stretches you, but doesn’t drop you in the deep end.

You’ll need experience in a management or financial accounting role, ideally in a fast-moving environment. Line management experience isn’t essential, but you’ll need the confidence to lead and influence. ACA, ACCA or CIMA would be ideal, though strong QBE candidates are very much considered.

What’s on offer:

• Pro-rata salary up to £70,000 plus bonus
• Part-time hours (around 3 days per week)
• Hybrid working
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays (pro-rata)
• Genuine development under a supportive FD, with longer-term progression if you want it
