* Twickenham
* £50,000 – £55,000
* 37.5 hours Monday-Friday
* Parking Permit
* Clear route to Finance Director
Ready to step up and make your mark?
If you are a Financial Controller (or a strong No.2 ready to step up) who wants more ownership, more influence, and a genuine path to FD this is the role you’ve been waiting for.
This is not a “sit back and maintain” position. This is a chance to come into a fast-growing, ambitious business, shape the finance function, and grow alongside it.
You’ll be joining a dynamic SME that’s part of a wider group with three operating divisions giving you exposure to group-level reporting and complexity, without losing the agility of an entrepreneurial environment.
Why this role stands out
* Clear progression to Finance Director as the business grows
* High-growth environment — scaling quickly with exciting plans ahead
* Direct access to leadership — work closely with an impressive Director
* Influence & autonomy — your ideas will be heard and implemented
What you’ll be doing
This is a hands-on, all-round role where no two days look the same.
You’ll:
* Take ownership of the day-to-day finance function, including high-volume transactions
* Produce monthly management accounts and deliver clear, meaningful insights
* Lead on cashflow forecasting, budgeting, and planning
* Partner with stakeholders across the business to improve performance and profitability
* Manage and develop a small finance team
* Support group reporting and work across multiple entities
* Help shape processes as the business continues to scale
You’ll need to be just as comfortable rolling up your sleeves as you are contributing at a strategic level.
What we’re looking for
* ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified or qualified by experience
* Experience working within a group structure (important)
* Strong systems skills, Xero experience preferred
* A proactive, hands-on approach with a commercial mindset
* Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, changing environment
Bonus if you’ve worked in manufacturing, engineering, logistics or haulage but not essential.
The bigger picture
This is perfect for someone who:
* Feels stuck in their current role with limited progression
* Wants to step into a more visible, influential position
* Is excited by growth, change, and building something
You won’t just be reporting numbers here you’ll be helping shape the future of the business.
