Financial Controller
Shape the financial backbone of a fast-growth consumer brand. Own controls, reporting and cash visibility; hybrid role in Cheltenham, with real cross-functional impact.
We’re hiring a Finance Controller to help strengthen the finance engine inside a fast-growth consumer brand.
This is a hands-on role for someone who understands controls, reporting, cash visibility and management information, and who wants to help a scaling business improve the quality and usefulness of finance as complexity increases.
The business has grown from zero to more than £20m revenue in under three years and now needs stronger financial control, clearer reporting and better visibility across margin, cash, stock and working capital.
This is a hybrid role with 3 days per week at the HQ in central Cheltenham.
If you’re excited by the idea of helping a fast-growth consumer business build a stronger financial backbone, we’d love to hear from you.
What you’ll do
Strengthen month-end, reporting discipline and core financial controls
Improve management reporting across revenue, margin, opex, stock, cash and working capital
Increase visibility on cash flow, creditor timing and stock-related financial pressures
Help improve understanding of commercial and operational performance through better financial insight
Support stronger balance sheet discipline and financial housekeeping
Work closely with supply chain, operations and commercial teams to connect finance more clearly to business decisions
Help make the finance function more robust and scalable as the business grows
What we’re looking for
Experience in finance control, reporting or finance manager roles
Strong grounding in month-end, controls and management reporting
Good understanding of cash, margin, stock and working capital in a growing business
Commercial awareness and ability to connect numbers to real decisions
Comfortable improving process and reporting quality in a fast-moving environment
Reliable, proactive and low ego
Why this role stands out
Meaningful ownership inside a fast-growth product business
Opportunity to make finance more useful, not just more controlled
Strong cross-functional visibility across operations, supply chain and commercial teams
Fast-moving environment with real room to grow
Strong package and supportive leadership context
