Your new role
The Financial Controller reports to the Finance Director and has four direct reports (two qualified financial accountants, Finance Manager and Payroll Manager) and eight indirect reports. You will assume responsibility for all transactional accounting and external reporting and run the year-end audit, managing the relationship with the auditors and working closely with the business to ensure audit readiness is maintained.
