Job Description:

Job Title: Financial Controller

Location: Bridgwater, Somerset

Hours: Monday – Thursday: 08:00 – 17:00 & Friday: 08:00 – 14:30

Salary: Circa 50,000 PA

Are you a commercially minded Financial Controller who enjoys being at the heart of a growing business?

We’re working with a well-established manufacturing business in Bridgwater that’s about to go through a really exciting period of growth. They’ve got big plans over the next few years and are looking for someone who can come in, take ownership of the finance function, and help bring a bit more structure and commercial focus as things scale up.

You’ll be working closely with the senior team day‑to‑day, so it’s a great opportunity to have a genuine say in how the business moves forward and to really make your mark.

The Role

This isn’t a typical back‑office finance role. You’ll be working closely with teams across the business, from production and procurement through to sales and leadership, playing a key part in how the company performs and grows. You’ll look after reporting, forecasting, and cashflow, but it won’t stop there. You’ll also get stuck into the day‑to‑day running of the business, helping spot opportunities to improve margins, keep costs under control, and support ongoing growth.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Taking ownership of monthly management accounts, forecasts, and financial reporting
  • Delivering clear, insightful analysis to support business decisions
  • Driving budgeting processes and tracking performance across departments
  • Monitoring margins, profitability, and operational efficiency
  • Managing cashflow, working capital, and financial controls
  • Partnering with operational teams to improve costing, stock control, and spend visibility
  • Supporting growth plans through forecasting, modelling, and strategic input
  • Enhancing financial systems, processes, and ERP integration

About You

  • Experienced at Financial Controller or Senior Finance Manager level
  • Confident operating within a manufacturing or engineering environment
  • Highly analytical, commercially aware, and comfortable working with operational teams
  • Hands‑on, proactive, and happy to roll up their sleeves
  • A strong communicator who can translate financial data into meaningful insights
  • Ideally qualified (CIMA / ACCA / ACA), though this isn’t essential

Why Apply?

If you’re looking for a role where you can move beyond reporting and truly make an impact, helping a business scale, improve, and succeed then this could be the perfect next step.
