Financial Controller

Wigan

ยฃ50,000 – ยฃ60,000 + Benefits

Platinum are representing a well-established, service-based SME in Wigan, in sourcing a Financial Controller to add to their growing teamโ€ฆ

The business stands at c. ยฃ5million t/o, and you’ll resume full responsibility of 2 x direct reports, working in a finance team of 4. It’s a small team, so we need diligent, hands-on candidates, who aren’t afraid to dig into every area of accounting.

You’ll oversee an Accounts Assistant and Credit Controller, reviewing and signing off work, upskilling the team in month-end tasks, and you’ll prepare all management accounts, analysis and reporting for submission to the Finance Director and owners.

It’s a great business, chilled and relaxed working environment with no one breathing down your neck. Speaking with the owner today, he very much endorses a culture of trust in his staff, it’s a “I’ll leave you to get on with your role and I’m here if you need me!” sort of set-up. It’s an opportunity for an accomplished Financial Controller to manage their own time, set the expectations in the team and really mould the role to their working-style.

This is an office-based business, there is no hybrid working, so if you need hybrid don’t applyโ€ฆThe offices are modern, spacious and set up perfectly of collaborative working, as well as private offices available for when confidentiality is required. They want you in and around the team so it suits someone who likes being in the office and having that daily interaction with the Directors and wider business – A peoples person!

On your profile, the Directors are looking for a self-starter, a Financial Controller who can provide them with real insights, guide teams effectively and dig into the accounts, someone who sees a task outstanding and completes it when everyone else is tied up. It’s an SME so you’ve got to be adaptable.

It’s a fab role, one the Directors want to see someone join for the long-term, with progression opportunities there for the right candidate. So, if this opportunity sounds like your bag, and you’re someone who loves working directly with a business owner to drive their accounts function, send over your CV for review!

Please submit your CV to amber.long@platinumrecruits.co.uk.
