Financial Controller | £65,000 – £70,000 | Wigan | Manufacturing | No.1 in Finance Supporting an MD | Support from an external FD
Axon Moore has partnered with a exciting manufacturing business in Wigan to recruit a Head of Finance (Financial Controller).
About the business:
This business is a large SME that has undergone a large capex investment over the past three years, transforming their production processes and boosting their revenue month-on-month. They’re in a really exciting period as they continue to grow and are casting their eyes to the next 3-5 year period regarding what’s possible.
Where does the role fit?:
The Financial Controller will be the no.1 in Finance on site, reporting to, and being the right hand person to the Managing Director. The new Financial Controller will benefit from a peer in a sister-company, and mentoring from an external Group FD.
Impact:
The Financial Controller will have a strong finance team, releasing them to oversee finance but focus on the operational and commercial running of the business. The Managing Director expects to hire a strong manufacturing accountant who can help bring efficiencies, develop site KPI’s, advise on strategy etc.
They’re looking to appoint a strong leader, and they have a strong track record of promoting previous people in this role into FD’s within their wider portfolio.
Culture:
This business is excellent regionally. They offer an enhanced benefits package (inc healthcare), they have a very low staff turnover and they’re consistently investing in the wellbeing of their team. They have a culture of socialising outside of work, both as a department, and as a business. They’re a very profitable company and they will happily resource and fund the new Financial Controller in their team gatherings externally – a massive plus in today’s climate.
Profile:
Please apply if you are:
– Qualified (CIMA / ACCA / ACA)
– Have hands-on manufacturing experience
– Possess leadership qualities
– Happy to do 5 days on-site in Wigan (flexibility where needed but policy is 5 days due to manufacturing nature)
