Group Financial Controller - EMEA \n Leeds | Hybrid (3 days in the office) | £85,000 - £100,000 + Benefits \n If you're an experienced Financial Controller who enjoys working across an international business, getting into the detail and having real influence over the numbers, this could be a great next step. \n We're partnering with a growing international manufacturing business to appoint a Group Financial Controller to take responsibility for financial reporting, consolidation and control across its EMEA operations. \n Reporting to the EMEA CFO, you'll work across multiple international entities and currencies, partnering closely with local Finance teams to make sure reporting is accurate, consistent and commercially useful. \n It's a broad role with plenty of exposure. While there is no direct line management, you'll have significant influence across the wider Finance function and will work closely with Finance teams across the region. \n The role \n You'll take ownership of the EMEA month-end, consolidation and reporting process, working across multiple entities and currencies to ensure the Group has accurate and timely financial information. \n A key part of the role will be understanding what's driving the numbers rather than simply reporting them. You'll need to be comfortable analysing foreign exchange movements, variances and financial performance, challenging the detail and explaining the story behind the results. \n You'll be responsible for: \n\n • Leading the monthly, quarterly and annual close across the EMEA entities\n, • Managing multi-currency consolidation and Group reporting\n, • Reviewing financial submissions from local Finance teams and challenging where required\n, • Producing management reporting and detailed variance analysis\n, • Supporting the annual budgeting and quarterly forecasting processes\n, • Reviewing financial performance across the individual entities\n, • Overseeing cash flow and working capital reporting\n, • Maintaining strong financial controls across the region\n, • Supporting statutory reporting, audit, tax and compliance requirements\n, • Working with local Finance teams to improve processes, controls and reporting\n, • Providing financial insight and challenge to senior stakeholders\n, • Supporting the development of consolidation and reporting systems\n, • Getting involved in wider projects, acquisitions and process improvements as the Group continues to grow\n\n What we're looking for \n We're looking for someone with a strong Group Financial Controller or Financial Controller background who has operated in a multi-entity, international environment. \n You'll ideally bring: \n\n • ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification\n, • Experience consolidating multiple international entities\n, • Strong knowledge of foreign exchange and variance analysis\n, • A solid technical accounting and financial control background\n, • Ideally, experience within a manufacturing or production environment\n, • Confidence building relationships with Finance teams across different countries\n, • A hands-on approach with a genuine interest in improving processes and reporting\n, • The ability to challenge the numbers and understand what is driving performance\n\n You don't need to have managed a large team. In fact, this role is much more about your ability to influence, challenge and partner with Finance teams across the region than direct people management. \n Why this role? \n This is more than a reporting and consolidation role. \n You'll have genuine visibility across the EMEA business, working closely with the EMEA CFO and local Finance teams across multiple countries. The Group has ambitious growth plans, including further acquisitions, so there will be plenty of opportunity to broaden your experience and take on more responsibility. \n For the right person, there's a clear opportunity for progression as the business continues to grow. \n If you're currently a Financial Controller or Group Financial Controller and are looking for a role with greater international exposure, more influence and a clear route to progress, this is well worth a conversation.

Everyone wants new business. Not everyone shows you how to win it. \n This firm does. \n You’ll join on a basic of up to £70,000, inherit around £20m of existing AUM from the founder and have genuine support to grow from there. \n That support comes through referrals, professional connections, marketing, content and existing client opportunities. The firm has a proven methodology for getting advisers in front of prospective clients, one that has already helped them establish several planners. \n Now they want to do the same again. \n And that's where you come in. \n Yes, they want someone commercially minded who can convert opportunities and grow AUM, but you’re not being dropped into a role and told to go and find everything yourself. \n And unlike a lot of the adviser market, this is still a genuinely independent, directly authorised and privately owned financial planning firm. \n THE JOB \n You’ll take responsibility for an established portfolio of clients and provide proper long-term financial planning across areas such as pensions, retirement planning, investments, drawdown and cashflow planning. \n There’s strong administration and paraplanning support, but this isn’t a role where advisers sit in a silo. It’s a relatively small, close-knit business, so they want someone who contributes, shares ideas and takes responsibility for the quality of the advice process. \n As the team grows, there may also be scope to support and mentor less experienced colleagues. \n WHAT YOU’LL NEED \n You’ll need at least two years’ experience as a financial planner, so you’re already comfortable with the wider product, platform and investment market. \n They’re looking for someone commercially minded and ambitious, but also detail-conscious, client-focused and collaborative. \n They'd be keen to speak to people who have independent financial advice experience (even if it's within paraplanning). And if you've been a paraplanner before, even better. \n PACKAGE \n\n • Starting salary up to £70,000\n, • Uncapped bonus (expected year one bonus c£15,000)\n, • Clear route to increasing basic salary as AUM grows\n, • Proven multi-channel lead generation\n, • Strong admin and paraplanning support\n, • Independent, owner-managed firm\n\n The remuneration model is designed to reward both sides of the job: commercial growth through bonus, and the quality and size of the client bank you manage through progression in basic salary. \n --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \n If this sounds like the kind of firm you’d be interested in, get in touch and we’ll give you the full picture. \n Don't worry if your CV isn't up to date. Send us what you have and we can get to that later. \n Everyone gets a response.
