Group Financial Controller £100,000 + c.20% Bonus + 35 Days Holiday + BenefitsLocation: Derbyshire Hybrid 2-3 days on-site with flexibility How often do you get all of it? A sector you can get genuinely excited about. A business with real scale and momentum. A transformation mandate with the authority to actually deliver it. A CFO relationship that will stretch and develop you. And the flexibility to make the role work around you. This is one of those roles. We're working with a well-established, profitable business with significant revenue, a loyal customer base, and a clear growth agenda now firmly in motion. The finance function is evolving, and this hire sits right at the centre of that. You'll report directly to the CFO and take ownership of the full financial control piece, with the autonomy to shape how it's delivered. What the role covers: Leading group financial control - consolidations, monthly management accounts, board packs, and statutory accounts. Owning audit, tax compliance, and key external relationships. Maintaining a robust control environment with strong balance sheet governance and audit readiness. Working closely with FP&A and commercial finance to support better decision-making across the business. Beyond the core control remit, there's a real transformation angle. You'll lead the move away from legacy finance systems, drive process redesign, embed automation, and help build a scalable finance function that's fit for the next phase of growth. You'll also lead and develop a growing team, raising standards, building capability, and creating a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. What we're looking for: A qualified accountant - ideally ACA - with strong post-qualification experience in financial control. You'll have a track record in multi-entity, multi-currency environments and be comfortable operating at pace in a business that's evolving. A background in PE-backed or large PLC environments is ideal - people who know what good looks like and are used to being held to that standard. Hands-on involvement in finance system implementations is a real plus. Sector experience isn't essential - but mindset is. Someone who wants real ownership, takes pride in the detail, and is energised by the opportunity to shape something. If that sounds like you, let's talk. Distinct Recruitment Privacy Policy
