Financial Controller & Company Secretary

Telford | £85,000 - £95,000 + Up to 15% Bonus + Hybrid Working + Excellent Benefits

A finance leadership role where you'll genuinely influence the direction of the business.

SF Partners is delighted to be supporting a successful manufacturing organisation in the appointment of a Financial Controller & Company Secretary.
This is far more than a traditional Financial Controller role.

Working directly alongside the Managing Director, you'll become a key member of the senior leadership team, helping shape business strategy while leading the finance function and supporting operational performance across the site.

The business forms part of a well-established manufacturing group with an impressive customer base and an excellent reputation within its sector. Whilst benefiting from the strength and stability of the group, this business operates with significant autonomy, giving this role real visibility, influence and the opportunity to make a lasting impact.

What you'll be doing:

This is a broad leadership role with responsibility for both strategic and operational finance. You'll be responsible for:

Leading, developing and mentoring the Finance and local IT teams.
Delivering timely management accounts, insightful reporting and meaningful commercial analysis.
Driving budgeting, forecasting and long-term financial planning.
Partnering with the Managing Director and senior leadership team to support commercial decision making.
Managing cash flow, treasury, foreign exchange and working capital.
Overseeing standard costing, inventory and manufacturing performance analysis.
Taking ownership of statutory reporting, tax, audit and Company Secretarial responsibilities.
Managing payroll, pensions, insurance and wider financial governance.
Identifying opportunities to improve systems, processes and business performance across the organisation.

About you:

We're looking for a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) who enjoys being close to the business and thrives within a manufacturing environment.
Previous experience in a Financial Controller, Head of Finance or senior finance leadership role.
A strong manufacturing background with a good understanding of operational finance and standard costing.
Experience leading and developing finance teams.
Excellent business partnering skills with the confidence to influence at Board level.
A commercial mindset combined with a hands-on approach.
ERP experience (SAP would be advantageous).

Why this opportunity?:

This genuinely is more than the average Financial Controller roles on the market. Very few offer this combination of autonomy, strategic influence and the backing of a successful group.

You'll join a collaborative leadership team who genuinely value finance as a commercial partner, giving you the opportunity to influence key business decisions while continuing to improve an already successful operation.

If you're an experienced manufacturing finance leader looking for a role where you can genuinely make a difference, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.
