Divisional Financial Controller

We are supporting a highly successful PE-backed Group based in Sevenoaks, Kent to hire a Divisional Financial Controller to look after two £10mil t/o sites. This is a highly visible role within the Group, who are entering into another exciting phase of growth through acquisition. You will take ownership of cash flow, budget preparation, month-end and building forecasting that goes beyond a simple projection.

Key Duties:

• Lead and oversee all accounting, management reporting, and financial control activities for two sites.
• Ensure accurate and timely month-end results, variance analysis, and commentary for consolidation.
• Maintain a robust financial control environment, accounting standards, and statutory requirements.
• Deliver high-quality balance sheet reconciliations and oversee working capital and cashflow performance.
• Partner with the central finance team to harmonise processes, policies, and systems across regional businesses.

Key Requirements:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified, ideally within PE-backed or multi-entity environment.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge with a solid understanding of UK GAAP.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multi-site financial operations.
• Strong Excel skills, with genuine curiosity about the numbers behind the numbers.
• Ability to partner with senior stakeholders and operations.

What’s On Offer:

• £6,000 Car Allowance
• 15% Bonus

• 25 days holiday
• Hybrid and flexible working
