Job Description:

Financial Controller

  • Location: Twickenham
  • Salary: £50,000 – £55,000
  • Hours: 37.5 hours Monday – Friday
  • Parking permit
  • Clear route to Finance Director

Ready to step up and make your mark?

If you are a Financial Controller (or a strong No.2 ready to step up) who wants more ownership, more influence and a genuine path to FD this is the role you’ve been waiting for.

This is not a “sit back and maintain” position. This is a chance to come into a fast‑growing, ambitious business, shape the finance function and grow alongside it.

You’ll be joining a dynamic SME that’s part of a wider group with three operating divisions giving you exposure to group‑level reporting and complexity, without losing the agility of an entrepreneurial environment.

Why this role stands out

  • Clear progression to Finance Director as the business grows
  • High‑growth environment – scaling quickly with exciting plans ahead
  • Direct access to leadership – work closely with an impressive Director
  • Influence & autonomy – your ideas will be heard and implemented

What you’ll be doing

  • Take ownership of the day‑to‑day finance function, including high‑volume transactions
  • Produce monthly management accounts and deliver clear, meaningful insights
  • Lead on cashflow forecasting, budgeting and planning
  • Partner with stakeholders across the business to improve performance and profitability
  • Manage and develop a small finance team
  • Support group reporting and work across multiple entities
  • Help shape processes as the business continues to scale

You’ll need to be just as comfortable rolling up your sleeves as you are contributing at a strategic level.

What we’re looking for

  • ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified or qualified by experience
  • Experience working within a group structure (important)
  • Strong systems skills, Xero experience preferred
  • A proactive, hands‑on approach with a commercial mindset
  • Someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, changing environment
  • Bonus if you’ve worked in manufacturing, engineering, logistics or haulage but not essential

The bigger picture

  • Feels stuck in their current role with limited progression
  • Wants to step into a more visible, influential position
  • Is excited by growth, change and building something

You won’t just be reporting numbers here – you’ll be helping shape the future of the business.
