I am currently recruiting for a Financial Controller to join a purpose-led property development company at an exciting stage of its growth. Reporting directly to the Finance Director, this is a newly created position offering the opportunity to play a key role in shaping the finance function.

This role offers an excellent blend of hands-on financial control, commercial finance, and strategic FP&A. Alongside leading the day-to-day finance team, you'll drive budgeting, forecasting and business planning, while helping to build a high-performing, commercially focused finance function.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading the month-end process across multiple entities, ensuring robust financial controls and accurate reporting
• Producing monthly management accounts, financial reports, variance analysis and insightful commentary
• Managing treasury activities, including cash flow forecasting and banking relationships
• Leading the annual budgeting process, alongside regular forecasting and scenario planning
• Supporting long-term business planning through financial modelling and strategic analysis
• Developing meaningful KPI reporting to provide clear insight into business performance
• Monitoring project expenditure against approved budgets and reviewing development appraisals
• Partnering closely with development and operational teams to provide commercial challenge and financial insight
• Preparing statutory accounts and coordinating the annual external audit
• Leading, mentoring and developing the finance team, fostering a more commercially focused culture
• Identifying opportunities to streamline processes, improve controls and drive automation across the finance function
• Building strong relationships across the business to support informed decision-making

The successful candidate will be a qualified accountant with significant post-qualification experience in a Financial Controller or senior finance position, ideally within the property, real estate or construction sectors. You'll have a proven track record of developing high-performing teams and transforming finance functions into commercially driven business partners.

This is an outstanding opportunity to join a growing, purpose-led business where you'll enjoy genuine ownership, autonomy and the opportunity to progress into a Finance Director position as the company continues to expand. Apply now for immediate consideration.
