About the role
Financial Controller
North Nottingham | £70,000 - £75,000 + discretionary bonus (up to 20%) + benefits | Permanent
Macildowie is working exclusively with a well-established engineering and manufacturing business in North Nottingham to appoint a Financial Controller.
This is a hands-on, broad role. You’ll run the full finance function day to day and lead a team of five. The business needs someone who can produce a full set of accounts, then step back and tell the leadership team what the numbers mean.
The role
- Own month end and produce accurate, timely monthly reporting: P&L, balance sheet and cash flow
- Lead budgeting and forecasting, with real input and buy-in from operational managers
- Deliver a smooth statutory audit and oversee tax submissions
- Manage capital expenditure, from financial appraisal through to tracking the benefits
- Drive standard costing and variance analysis, and turn it into action on the shop floor
- Strengthen financial controls, processes and KPIs under UK GAAP
- Lead, coach and develop a team of five who are capable but mostly early in their careers, from the transactional work through to management accounting and analysis
What they’re looking for
- Fully qualified CIMA or ACCA
- Experience running the whole finance function in a manufacturing business turning over roughly £50m–£100m, not just one specialist area
- Standard costing, variance analysis, capex and statutory audit experience
- Someone who leads by delegating and coaching. You’ll trust a developing team, check the output and step in when it’s needed, without doing it all yourself or managing from a distance.
- Comfortable on the shop floor and credible with engineering, operations, HR, procurement and quality leads
- Infor Syteline and Power BI are a bonus, not a requirement
Why it’s worth a conversation
- A genuine Financial Controller remit across every finance discipline, not a narrow role inside a group
- A team with real potential that wants developing
- Visibility with senior leadership from day one
- £70k - £75k base plus a discretionary bonus of up to 20%
Interviews start w/c 9 November. For a confidential conversation, contact Luke Bull on .
