Our client is a well-established and growing manufacturer and distributor within the UK Medical Devices industry. As the business continues to scale, they're looking for an ambitious, detail-oriented Financial Controller to join their finance team at their Buckinghamshire HQ.Reporting to the Senior Financial Controller, you'll take ownership of the accuracy and integrity of the company's financial records, while supporting timely, meaningful management information and a strong financial control environment. It's a genuinely hands-on role within a fast-paced, growing manufacturing and distribution business, not one where you'll be sat behind a desk removed from what's actually happening operationally.What you'll be doingYou'll support the monthly close process: management accounts, balance sheet reconciliations, accruals, prepayments and journals - making sure everything lands accurately and on deadline, with analysis that actually helps the leadership team understand performance rather than just reporting numbers for the sake of it.You'll own the integrity of the general ledger, keep reconciliations on track and chase down variances before they become problems. You'll support the annual statutory accounts and work directly with external auditors to keep the audit process smooth.There's a working capital element too; debtors, creditors, inventory, cash flow forecasting, VAT compliance - and you'll work closely with operational teams to make sure stock movements, manufacturing costs and inventory valuations are properly reflected in the numbers.You'll contribute to budgeting and forecasting, spot trends, track KPIs, and flag opportunities to improve profitability and efficiency. And as the finance function evolves, you'll be pushing for process improvement; streamlining reporting, getting more out of the ERP system and getting involved in finance projects as the business grows.What we're looking forACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified (very strong part-qualified candidates with relevant experience will also be considered)Experience within manufacturing, engineering, healthcare or distributionSolid technical accounting knowledge and strong analytical skillsHands-on experience with management accounts, balance sheet reconciliations, budgeting and financial reportingStrong Excel skills and experience working with ERP systemsComfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-paced commercial environmentWhat's on offer£50,000-£65,000 Base Salary (Dependent on Experience)Benefits Suite inc Pension Scheme, Annual Leave Allowance & MoreThis is a fantastic chance to join an established but growing organisation with genuine scope to broaden your commercial finance experience alongside an experienced Senior Financial Controller and leadership team, with clear progression from there!Consult will endeavour to contact candidates within 14 days of application.
