About the Role
Castle Employment Group are working in partnership with a growing Yorkshire manufacturing business to recruit a Financial Controller for a newly created role within their leadership team.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly successful, down-to-earth business with ambitious growth plans, scaling from £30m turnover towards £80m over the next five years.
The role offers genuine progression towards a future Finance Director position and would suit a commercially minded finance professional who enjoys operational involvement, improving processes and working closely with leadership teams.
This is not a corporate environment. The successful individual will need to be comfortable operating within a fast-moving manufacturing setting, building relationships across operations and contributing commercially to business decisions.
Key responsibilities include:
• Production and improvement of management accounts
• Advanced Excel analysis and reporting
• Extracting and manipulating data from Sage
• Product costing and margin analysis
• Supporting operational and commercial decision making
• Working alongside auditors and external accountants
• Supporting future systems implementation projects
• Managing and developing transactional finance processes
• Supporting growth and future acquisitions
The successful candidate will ideally have:
• Manufacturing finance experience
• Strong costing experience
• Excellent Excel capability
• Experience within a product-led environment
• Commercial finance exposure
• A proactive and hands-on approach
Experience within food manufacturing, FMCG or industrial manufacturing would be highly advantageous.
The business is open-minded on qualification status and will consider qualified, part-qualified or QBE candidates with the right operational and commercial experience.
