Location:

Birmingham Hybrid: 1 day from home Salary: £75,000 - £90,000 + Bens You might not be actively looking for a new role. But if you're an experienced Financial Controller who would move for the right level of ownership, complexity and opportunity to make an impact, this is worth seriously considering.

SF Partners is working with an established, multi-entity business based in Birmingham to recruit a Group Financial Controller. Our client is continuing to grow and evolve through acquisition, so now is the perfect time to be joining!

This isn't simply a role focused on producing the numbers!

You'll take ownership of financial control across the Group, lead and develop a multi-site finance team and play a central role in integrating acquired businesses, strengthening the control environment and improving how finance operates across the organisation.

Reporting to the Director of Group Finance you'll have four direct reports across two locations and a broad Group remit covering:

Financial control and management reporting across multiple Group entities

Full ownership of the Group balance sheet and control environment

Finance integration of acquired businesses - aligning systems, processes and controls

Leadership and development of a multi-site finance team Audit readiness, VAT, tax and statutory compliance

Cash flow forecasting, banking and treasury

Intercompany accounting and foreign exchange

Support across budgeting and forecasting

Commercial interaction around performance and stock reporting

Working alongside FP&A to drive automation, standardisation and process improvement

It's a role where you'll need to be comfortable operating at different levels - challenging the numbers and getting into the detail when required, while also developing people, improving processes and influencing how finance operates across the wider Group.

You'll be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
Significant experience as a Financial Controller, Group Financial Controller or in a comparable senior finance leadership role.

Experience with in a multi-entity Group environment (preferable)
Strong financial control, balance sheet and technical accounting capability

Experience integrating acquisitions or newly acquired businessesA track record of improving processes, controls and reporting

Leadership and development of finance teams

Strong ERP and financial reporting systems experience

Confidence working with commercial, operational and senior stakeholdersA genuinely hands-on approach - someone equally comfortable leading the function and getting into the detail

You'll get the breadth and influence. You'll also inherit meaningful Group-level responsibility, but you'll also be a key person in driving continuous improvements. With multiple entities, acquired businesses to integrate and opportunities to further strengthen and automate finance processes, you'll have the scope to shape the function rather than simply maintain it.

It offers the opportunity to combine the technical foundations of a senior controllership role with people leadership, acquisition integration and finance transformation - with enough complexity to keep the role interesting.
