Group Financial Controller

About the role

We are seeking an experienced Group Financial Controller to lead the finance function across a privately owned, multi-entity group.

The group operates across construction, professional services and agriculture, each with distinct operational and financial drivers. This role brings these together into a clear, consolidated view of group performance, cash flow, budgets and forecasting.

You will ensure financial information is accurate, timely, and supports decision-making across the group. This includes consolidating results, maintaining strong financial controls, and working closely with business leaders on planning, forecasting and performance.

You will report to the General Manager and work closely with the Managing Director, business leaders, and the accounts and administration team.

This is a senior, hands-on role that combines financial control with practical business engagement. It suits someone confident working across multiple entities and translating financial data into clear commercial insight.
