Group Financial Controller - EMEA\n Leeds | Hybrid (3 days in the office) | £85,000 - £95,000 + Benefits \n If you're an experienced Financial Controller who enjoys working across an international business, getting into the detail and having real influence over the numbers, this could be a great next step. \n We're partnering with a growing international manufacturing business to appoint a Group Financial Controller to take responsibility for financial reporting, consolidation and control across its EMEA operations. \n Reporting to the EMEA CFO, you'll work across multiple international entities and currencies, partnering closely with local Finance teams to make sure reporting is accurate, consistent and commercially useful. \n It's a broad role with plenty of exposure. While there is no direct line management, you'll have significant influence across the wider Finance function and will work closely with Finance teams across the region. The role\n You'll take ownership of the EMEA month-end, consolidation and reporting process, working across multiple entities and currencies to ensure the Group has accurate and timely financial information. \n A key part of the role will be understanding what's driving the numbers rather than simply reporting them. You'll need to be comfortable analysing foreign exchange movements, variances and financial performance, challenging the detail and explaining the story behind the results. \n You'll be responsible for: \n\n • Leading the monthly, quarterly and annual close across the EMEA entities\n, • Managing multi-currency consolidation and Group reporting\n, • Reviewing financial submissions from local Finance teams and challenging where required\n, • Producing management reporting and detailed variance analysis\n, • Supporting the annual budgeting and quarterly forecasting processes\n, • Reviewing financial performance across the individual entities\n, • Overseeing cash flow and working capital reporting\n, • Maintaining strong financial controls across the region\n, • Supporting statutory reporting, audit, tax and compliance requirements\n, • Working with local Finance teams to improve processes, controls and reporting\n, • Providing financial insight and challenge to senior stakeholders\n, • Supporting the development of consolidation and reporting systems\n, • Getting involved in wider projects, acquisitions and process improvements as the Group continues to grow\nWhat we're looking for\n We're looking for someone with a strong Group Financial Controller or Financial Controller background who has operated in a multi-entity, international environment. \n You'll ideally bring: \n\n • ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification\n, • Experience consolidating multiple international entities\n, • Strong knowledge of foreign exchange and variance analysis\n, • A solid technical accounting and financial control background\n, • Ideally, experience within a manufacturing or production environment\n, • Confidence building relationships with Finance teams across different countries\n, • A hands-on approach with a genuine interest in improving processes and reporting\n, • The ability to challenge the numbers and understand what is driving performance\n\n You don't need to have managed a large team. In fact, this role is much more about your ability to influence, challenge and partner with Finance teams across the region than direct people management. Why this role?\n This is more than a reporting and consolidation role. \n You'll have genuine visibility across the EMEA business, working closely with the EMEA CFO and local Finance teams across multiple countries. The Group has ambitious growth plans, including further acquisitions, so there will be plenty of opportunity to broaden your experience and take on more responsibility. \n For the right person, there's a clear opportunity for progression as the business continues to grow. \n If you're currently a Financial Controller or Group Financial Controller and are looking for a role with greater international exposure, more influence and a clear route to progress, this is well worth a conversation.

Senior Accountant – £50,000 to £55,000 – Leeds / HybridIf you’re a technically strong accountant who enjoys getting into the detail, owning reporting, and being the go-to person for financial accuracy, this is a role where you can really make your mark.This position sits at the heart of the finance function, taking ownership of core reporting, strengthening controls, and ensuring the business has reliable, high-quality financial information to drive decisions. It’s a role that goes beyond “producing numbers” you’ll shape them, challenge them, and add real commercial context.You’ll be joining a forward-thinking, high-performing team where your technical expertise will be valued, and your voice will be heard across the business.What You’ll Be Doing\n\n • Taking ownership of technical reporting and delivering accurate, high-quality financial outputs\n, • Strengthening financial controls and ensuring robust, compliant processes\n, • Acting as a trusted finance partner to senior stakeholders\n, • Producing insightful MI, budgeting, and forecasting with clear commercial commentary\n, • Playing a key role in audit and continuous improvement initiatives\n, • Supporting and developing junior team members\nWhat We’re Looking For\n\n, • ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified (or equivalent)\n, • Strong technical accounting background with hands-on reporting experience\n, • Confidence working with complex data and financial information\n, • A detail-driven mindset with the ability to see the bigger commercial picture\n, • Strong communication skills and the confidence to challenge where needed\n, • Ambition to grow and develop within a fast-paced business\nWhat’s On Offer\n\n, • Up to £55,000 base salary\n, • Bonus\n, • Hybrid working (2 days from home)\n, • Comprehensive benefits package\n, • Genuine progression and development opportunities\n\n\n, • INDFIN\n

\n • Career building opportunity\n, • Global business with international travel prospects\n, • Hybrid working based out of Leeds\nGroup Financial Controller | Leeds | Up to six figures DOE + benefits I'm working with a leading global consultancy who are looking for a Group Financial Controller to join them in Leeds, reporting directly to the Group Finance Director. This is the GFD's number two, and it's a genuinely broad seat. It pulls together three areas that don't often sit in one role: group financial reporting, management reporting (both internally and up to the parent), and treasury.The systems and tax functions sit elsewhere, so this isn't a role where you'll be buried in ERP configuration or compliance returns, it's about owning the numbers, running the reporting cycle, and being the person the GFD can hand things to and trust them to land. It's also a role with somewhere to go. The business is upfront that they would be excited about someone with ambition, maybe someone who has eyes on a Group FD role in time, whether here or elsewhere. If you're a Group FC in a narrower or smaller role wanting more breadth, or a senior financial accountant reporting into a Group FC and ready to make the step up, this is built for you.What you'll own Group financial reporting, including consolidated statements on an IFRS basis across the international group, and quality-reviewing what comes in from overseas. Monthly and quarterly management reporting internally to the board and up to the parent. Treasury: cashflow forecasting, controlling where the group's funds sit, and managing the banking relationships (a part of the role many candidates in larger, centralised-treasury groups never get to touch). Coordinating the external audit as the primary point of contact. Reviewing and documenting group accounting policies. Supporting the GFD on the things only a strong number two can pick up including M&A, due diligence, valuations, and stepping into the GFD's shoes when needed. Leading and building a small team beneath you, including involvement in the recruitment of it. There's a lot going on in the background: an ERP selection and implementation, a growing group, and a parent that's demanding on information but genuinely lets the business run itself. The right person will see that as the interesting part.What they're looking for A qualified accountant with a robust technical background (ACA / ACCA / equivalent), ideally Big 4 trained, with a track record of two or so moves within industry, they are looking for someone who has already made their first move into Industry rather than someone straight out of practice. Strong technical IFRS and group consolidation experience, including overseas entities. Comfortable across both financial and management reporting. Treasury exposure is a plus, but appetite to own it matters more than years of it. Crucially, the kind of person who's ready for the next step and who'll challenge, take ownership, and quietly make the GFD's life easier. A background in a consultancy or professional-services environment (engineering, legal, advisory, or the finance function of an audit practice) translates well here, the concepts of utilisation, project-based working and team delivery carry across. The practical bitsHybrid and mostly Leeds-based, with roughly a day a month in London. Occasional overseas travel — rare to begin with, but it'll come with system rollouts or acquisitions. This is a global business; for the right person, the chance to go and work on an overseas acquisition should read as a perk, not a chore.The package Up to six figures depending on experience, plus benefits. Salary reviews twice a year. 25 days' annual leave rising to 27, with the option to buy more. Matched pension to 5%, private healthcare, life insurance, and a healthy-living subsidy.If it sounds like you, let's have a confidential conversation — happy to talk through the team, the wider group, and where this could lead.
