If you want to get closer to decision-making, shape a business, and see the real impact of your work - keep reading.

We’re working with a purpose-led SME (

They’re now looking for a Financial Controller to act as a genuine number two to the Finance Director - someone who can balance hands-on delivery with commercial insight.

The Role (what it really feels like day-to-day)

This is not a “review the numbers” role. You’ll be in the numbers, shaping them, and challenging them.

• One day you’re closing month-end and ensuring control
• The next you’re working with leadership on pricing, margins or a new commercial initiative
• Then you’re building models to answer “what if we did this?”

You’ll sit right at the centre of the business - partnering with operations, sales and leadership - helping them understand what’s working, what isn’t, and what to do next.

It’s a role where:

• Your analysis drives decisions
• Your modelling influences strategy
• Your presence raises the bar across finance

Why this role stands out

• Real impact - small enough that what you do genuinely moves the dial
• Commercial exposure - not just reporting, but influencing direction
• Broad scope - from controls and cashflow to modelling and growth strategy
• Purpose-led - sustainability isn’t a side project, it’s core to the business

What they need (and what will make you successful)

This role will suit someone who is:

• Qualified (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
• Comfortable in an SME / owner-managed environment
• Happy being hands-on - no hiding behind layers
• Strong in financial modelling and scenario analysis
• Commercially minded - you enjoy understanding how the business actually makes money

You’ll likely be:

• An existing FC, or
• A strong Finance Manager / Senior Finance Manager ready to step up
