Job Search
A growing, privately owned SME is seeking a commercially minded Part-Time Financial Controller (4 days/week) to lead and strengthen its finance function.
This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced SME finance professional who enjoys operating close to the founders, improving processes, and providing clear, decision-ready insight — not just producing numbers.
Reporting directly to the Directors, you will take ownership of the day-to-day finance function while adding value through forecasting, modelling and commercial insight.
Key responsibilities will include:
Ownership of monthly management accounts and board reporting
Cashflow forecasting and working capital management
Budgeting and reforecasting processes
Financial modelling to support pricing, investment and growth initiatives
Overseeing transactional finance and improving controls
Developing and refining reporting dashboards (Xero-based)
Supporting strategic decision-making with clear analysis
We’re looking for someone who:
Has experience operating as a Financial Controller (or strong Finance Manager ready to step up) within an SME environment
Is confident using Xero and comfortable optimising its reporting capability
Has exposure to financial modelling (cashflow, scenario analysis, growth modelling)
Is hands-on, pragmatic and commercially aware
Enjoys working closely with entrepreneurial founders
Ideally ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified
4 days per week (flexibility around how this is structured)
Genuine influence in a growing business
Broad, end-to-end finance exposure
Opportunity to shape reporting, controls and commercial insight
This would suit someone looking for senior responsibility with flexibility — without sacrificing commercial impact.
