Hours:

Full time, Monday to Friday The Opportunity This is a rare chance to step into a newly created role and genuinely make it your own. A well established resort and hospitality business in the Midlands is looking for a driven finance professional to lead its revenue and accounts receivable function, bring structure to a large and complex ledger, and modernise how the team works, with the backing to make real, visible change from day one.

It is a role with breadth. This will be far more than a credit control: you will own the reconciliation of revenue across multiple operational systems, lead a small and highly experienced team, and become the trusted go to person for finance, sales and operational colleagues alike. For someone who enjoys process improvement and data as much as people leadership, this is a genuinely varied and rewarding next step.

This search is being handled on a confidential basis, so no company details are included at this stage. A full briefing, including who the business is, will be given once we have spoken to you. Why This Role Stands Out A newly created position with real scope to shape processes, systems and how the team operates Direct access to and support from senior finance leadership A genuine path from interim to a secure, permanent role A loyal, experienced team who are ready to be led and will welcome fresh ideas Immediate impact: your improvements will be seen and felt across the business straight away About the Role The role sits alongside the Assistant Financial Controller and reports directly to the Financial Controller.

What started as a credit control position has grown into something broader: part accounts receivable, part revenue accounting, and part systems and process improvement. You will lead a small team responsible for revenue posting, event billing and reconciliation, take ownership of reconciling revenue recorded through the operational systems against cash received, and act as the main point of contact for queries from sales and operational teams, so colleagues across the business can focus on their own roles.
