Lifestyle Financial Controller

£65,000 – £70,000 + Car, Bonus and full suite of benefits

Manchester / Hybrid

I have just been briefed by a delightful Finance Director who, I believe, has right approach and attitude to work and that’s why she is not looking for a traditional Financial Controller but rather a Lifestyle Financial Controller!

This FD is looking to hire someone who has worked hard to gain their professional qualification, has burned the midnight oil and put in ‘ridiculously long hours’ far too often and has now earned themselves the right to operate autonomously in a senior finance capacity, choose their own hours and working days, planning their work around the family and their hobbies and not allowing work to encroach on their ‘me’ time.

This isn’t to say that you won’t be developed or offered professional opportunities, no, there is lots of scope for this, however it’s about trusting you to do your job effectively and on your terms. This is a company that understands that if the employee is happy and treated well that they will return the favour with great work – win, win! To underpin this message, the business offers all its employees some of the most impressive benefits that the market has to offer – mental health counselling, a 60-day work from anywhere worldwide policy, free breakfasts, guaranteed bonus, free parking and much much more!

For the full spec, please contact sam@platinumrecruits.co.uk and let’s get your work-life-balance back on track!
