Commercial Finance Manager / Controller

The role of the Commercial Finance Manager / Controller is a crucial position overseeing the financial performance of a large subsidiary business.

Client Details

Description

This role sits within the controlling / business partnering function specifically within a multi-million £ turnover subsidiary.

A lot of your time would also be spent helping the Sales Directors with business proposals - making sure they are profitable / feasible.
