Financial Controller

The Financial Controller will take ownership of the company's financial control, forecasting, commercial analysis, cash flow, compliance, and financial performance across all entities. This is not a reporting-only role. The successful candidate will independently analyse financial information, investigate variances and risks, identify opportunities, and bring practical solutions and recommendations to the Directors. The ideal candidate will operate with minimal direction, set their own priorities, and proactively identify what the business needs to know. Key responsibilities
