Job Description

Sewell Wallis are delighted to be exclusively working with a rapidly growing SME based in Leeds city centre.

Our client has shown continuous strength and profitability since being incorporated 10 years ago, and now require a Financial controller to take control of their finance function. This role will develop into a Finance Director position as the business expands, offering a unique opportunity for an ambitious individual.

This role will ideally be worked on a 4 day a week basis; however 3 days will be considered in the short term if there is scope to increase as the business grows.

You will play a pivotal role within the management team, liaising with and influencing all departments in the business, whilst managing an accounts assistant who supports with the transactional duties. You will be someone who naturally drives change and enjoys process improvement work.

Your role as Financial Controller will include the following duties:

-Develop and implement financial strategies, policies and procedures to ensure effective financial management
-Manage the company\'s budgeting, forecasting and financial planning processes
-Recruit and develop a finance and admin function as the company expands
-Drive process improvement
-Provide clear and concise information to the management team and board
-Prepare financial reports, including income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements
-Monitor and analyse financial performance, providing recommendations to senior management
-Preparation of financial statements, tax returns and regulatory compliance
-Develop and maintain strong relationships with external stakeholders, including auditors and tax authorities
-Ensure compliance with relevant financial regulations and accounting standards
-Produce statutory accounts
-Full responsibility for all HR and legal queries
-Manage the production of commercial and legal contracts including GDPR

To be considered for this opportunity, our client is ideally looking for someone that has worked for large, international businesses previously, who can join with a different mindset and implement what they know is a good way of working. Our client\'s customer base is largely international, hence why international experience is an essential.

Aside from the above, you will be a qualified accountant who is eager to progress and grow with a business. If you have previously worked in a start up that has grown substantially, then this would be highly advantageous.

For further information please contact Lucy Regan or Emma Dugdale.
