Job description

A global, US manufacturing group is hiring a Financial Controller to strengthen its finance leadership team in Leicester. Reporting directly to the Finance Director and acting as their trusted deputy, this is a broad Financial Controller role in the East Midlands that blends hands-on financial control across UK and European entities with genuine people leadership and commercial business partnering.

The Role:

This is a role for a finance leader who enjoys both the rigour of strong governance and the variety of an international group environment. As Financial Controller you will keep the finance engine running smoothly across multiple legal entities, develop the team around you, and act as a visible finance presence for business leaders across the region, all from a well-established Leicester base.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Run the monthly, quarterly and annual close across a portfolio of legal entities, ensuring complete and accurate reporting under both UK and US GAAP
  • Lead, coach and develop the finance team across accounts payable, accounts receivable and general ledger
  • Deputise for the Finance Director, providing day-to-day leadership and decision-making across the regional finance function
  • Own the control environment, maintaining SOX compliance, sound accounting policies and effective systems
  • Oversee consolidated reporting to group, including cash-flow management, intercompany recharges and revenue recognition
  • Prepare statutory financial statements and lead the relationship with external auditors through year-end
  • Support ERP development and optimisation, and help integrate newly acquired businesses into the group

What You Will Deliver:

  • A close process the Finance Director and group stakeholders can rely on without question
  • A clean, well-evidenced control environment that stands up to SOX and external audit scrutiny
  • A more capable and confident finance team across the Leicester operation
  • Faster, smarter processes through automation, AI adoption and ERP improvement
  • Smooth financial integration of acquisitions as the group continues to expand

What We Are Looking For:

You are a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA, or qualified by experience) with a strong track record in financial control or finance management, ideally within an international or US-listed environment.

  • Solid technical accounting skills, with working knowledge of UK and US GAAP
  • Experience of SOX or a comparable internal controls framework
  • Proven leadership of transactional and core accounting teams
  • Confident ERP user, with an interest in automation and the use of AI in finance
  • An engaging communicator who builds relationships at every level and influences beyond finance
  • Organised, detail-driven and comfortable managing competing priorities

What The Job Offers:

  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • Hybrid working from a Leicester base in the East Midlands
  • A high-profile role with real breadth, from statutory reporting to acquisition integration
  • Clear scope to grow within a large, acquisitive international group
  • The chance to shape processes, systems and team development rather than simply maintain them

This Financial Controller role may also suit candidates searching for Senior Finance Manager, Finance Controller, Head of Finance, Group Financial Controller and Finance Manager roles across Leicester, Leicestershire and the East Midlands.
