Reporting directly to the Director of Finance, this role will play a key part in maintaining strong financial controls, delivering accurate reporting, and supporting strategic decision-making across the business.

A significant focus of this position is leadership.

From a technical perspective, the Financial Controller will oversee the preparation of monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements, ensuring accuracy and compliance with relevant accounting standards.

Working closely with the Director of Finance, the role will also support financial planning, forecasting, and strategic analysis.

The Candidate:
