Financial Controller

FINANCIAL CONTROLLER BIRMINGHAM

£75,000 - £105,000 + benefits

This is not a business-as-usual Financial Controller appointment.

We are looking for an exceptional Financial Controller with a proven track record in manufacturing to play a pivotal role in a business undergoing significant transformation and growth.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a critical finance function, work shoulder-to-shoulder with the senior leadership team and help shape the next chapter of an international manufacturing business.

The business has ambitious plans. A significant turnaround is underway, growth is accelerating and a major international ERP implementation is on the horizon. The finance function will be central to making it happen.

The challenge

• Lead and develop an established finance team, bringing strong leadership, direction and accountability.
• Own the financial reporting agenda, ensuring robust controls, accuracy and technical excellence.
• Work closely with senior leadership, providing the financial insight and challenge needed to drive business performance.
• Navigate the complexities of SOX controls and US GAAP reporting.
• Play a key role in a major international ERP implementation.
• Strengthen financial processes, reporting infrastructure and governance as the business continues to evolve.

Who we want to hear from

This is a non-negotiable manufacturing requirement. You will be an established Financial Controller with substantial experience operating within a manufacturing environment.

Ideally, you will bring:

• Around five years' Financial Controller experience within manufacturing.
• Exceptional financial reporting and technical accounting capability.
• A proven track record of leading, developing and managing finance teams.
• Experience of SOX and US GAAP.
• The credibility and commercial awareness to influence senior stakeholders.
• The resilience and ambition to operate in a business going through significant change.

Why consider this?

Because the opportunity to make a genuine difference at this level doesn't come along every day.

You will have the platform, the senior leadership exposure and the scale of transformation to leave a meaningful mark on the finance function and the wider business.

If you are an experienced manufacturing Financial Controller who wants more than another reporting role, this deserves a conversation.
