Part Time Financial Controller - Office based

Are you an experienced Financial Controller looking to step back from full time hours, without stepping back from the quality of your work?

I am now partnering exclusively with a well-funded, fast-growing York based SME to find a Financial Controller on a part‑time or reduced hours basis - the business are flexible about what this pattern looks like!

The business are on a clear growth trajectory to go from £2m to £12m turnover over the next 5 years, so there could not be a better time to join them!

The foundations are already in place, and now they need the right finance person to scale with them.

This is a rare, genuine opportunity to:

• Own the finance function from day one
• Work directly alongside the MD
• Shape strategy, not just report on it
• Build toward a Finance Director role as the business grows
• Gain experience preparing a business for a potential future exit

Would this exposure tick the boxes you are looking to add to your CV?

It's broad, hands‑on, and high‑impact covering everything from management accounts and cashflow forecasting, to project profitability, commercial analysis, and board‑level input.

The key duties will include:

• Full ownership of day‑to‑day finance operations (purchase ledger, sales ledger, payroll, credit control)
• Production and implementation of monthly management accounts (including accruals and prepayments)
• Management of project accounting, including work‑in‑progress and profitability tracking
• Development of cashflow forecasting and financial planning processes
• Review and optimisation of costings and project margins in collaboration with the MD
• Supporting commercial decision‑making through financial insight and analysis
• Preparation for and participation in board‑level discussions
• Driving process improvements and leveraging systems/AI to maintain a lean finance function

The right person will be fully qualified (ACA/ACCA/CIMA), commercially minded, systems/Excel savvy, and genuinely energised by the idea of joining a business at a pivotal moment in its journey!
