Financial Controller in Fleet, United Kingdom

Financial Controller
Fleet, Hampshire GBP80,000 + benefits

Vitae Financial Recruitment is working with a growing international organisation to recruit a Financial Controller for its UK finance function.

This is a newly created role offering the opportunity to take ownership of the financial control and technical accounting function across a number of UK entities, while helping shape the future structure of the finance team.

Reporting to the Head of Finance, you will lead financial control, month–end reporting and technical accounting, while managing and developing the existing finance team. You will also play a key role in improving processes and controls and supporting the transition to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

The role will initially be predominantly office–based in Fleet, particularly during the initial handover and transition period, with hybrid working expected to develop thereafter. The current expectation is around 1 day working from home, although this is open to discussion.

Candidates should ideally live within approximately a 30–minute drive of Fleet.

About you
We are looking for an experienced Financial Controller, or technically strong Senior Finance Manager, with:
Strong financial control and technical accounting experience
Experience managing and developing a finance team
Excellent month–end, balance sheet and reporting knowledge
A good understanding of UK accounting standards
Experience improving processes, controls and systems
The confidence to take ownership and challenge existing ways of working
Experience with Business Central / Microsoft Dynamics would be advantageous but is not essential

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to shape and develop a finance function, rather than simply inherit an established role.
