Job Description
We’re on the hunt for an experienced Financial Controller who thrives on precision, strategy, and efficiency.

You’ll work closely with top executives, shaping financial strategy and contributing to operational efficiency in a high-energy industry.
Your Mission
• Oversee financial operations, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
• Take ownership of accounting systems (Xero expertise is a must!) to streamline processes.
• Manage supplier payments, handle invoices, and resolve discrepancies like a pro.
• Keep a sharp eye on cash flow, budgets, and financial forecasting—your insights will drive the business forward.
• Reconcile bank statements daily, ensuring financial clarity and control.
• Collaborate with leadership to implement effective financial strategies and support operational decisions.
• Ensure VAT calculations are accurate with support from external specialists.
• Maintain strict internal controls, helping to safeguard financial integrity.
• Prepare management reports that provide insights, not just numbers.
• Work with auditors to ensure smooth and compliant financial operations.
• Act as a financial strategist, advising on decisions that impact profitability and sustainability.
What You Bring to the Table
Qualifications & Experience
• Degree in Financial Management or Accounting—your foundation for success!
• 5+ years of experience in financial reporting & analysis (your expertise matters).
• Strong business acumen and communication skills—numbers tell a story, and you’ll bring them to life.
• Experience using Xero is essential; knowledge of other financial software (Sage 300, Accpac) is a bonus!
• Project management and problem-solving skills—because you don’t just balance the books, you build strategies.
• A keen eye for detail, integrity, and discretion—trusted financial stewardship is key.
• Advanced Excel skills—if pivot tables excite you, this is the role for you!
Why You?
If you’re someone who loves precision, analysis, and leadership, this is your chance to make an impact in an exciting sector. This role offers the opportunity to be more than just an accountant—you’ll be a financial partner and strategic contributor to success.
