Financial Controller

Spencer Clarke Group are excited to be partnering with a well-established, family-run organisation based in Kirkham who are looking for a Financial Controller to join their team on a permanent basis.

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a role where you'll have full ownership of the finance function, your insights will directly influence commercial decisions, and your ideas for improving processes and reporting will be genuinely valued. You'll be joining a close-knit leadership team within a growing SME that prides itself on collaboration, innovation, and delivering a first-class service to its clients.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Take ownership of the end-to-end finance function, delivering accurate monthly management accounts, cash-flow forecasts and KPI reporting.

• Support long-term planning by managing budgets, quarterly reforecasts, and financial modelling.

• Act as a trusted adviser to the SLT, providing practical commercial insights that shape key business decisions.

• Build and develop dashboards to improve financial visibility across the business.

• Analyse revenue streams, recurring income and project profitability, highlighting opportunities, risks or trends.

• Oversee day-to-day finance operations including AP, AR, bank reconciliations, supplier payments, staff expenses and credit control.

• Ensure accurate revenue recognition for contracts and recurring income streams.

• Maintain robust internal controls, working closely with external advisers on year-end accounts, tax, and audit requirements.

• Own the accounting/ERP system and drive improvements that support scalable growth.

• Whether you're an experienced Financial Controller or a strong Senior Management Accountant looking to step up, this role offers scope, autonomy, and the chance to make a real impact.

Who We're Looking For:

• Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or an exceptional QBE with strong experience in SME finance.

• Experience in a Financial Controller or senior management accounting role, ideally within a service-based or technology-led environment.

• Strong understanding of UK GAAP and best-practice financial controls.

• Highly analytical with advanced Excel skills and confidence using BI tools.

• A proactive communicator with the ability to translate financial data into meaningful insights for non-finance stakeholders.

What's on Offer:

Salary: Competitive, depending on experience
Benefits: 25 days holiday + bank holidays, contributory pension, employee well-being initiatives and more!
