Financial Controller

This isn’t just a credit control role, it’s a position of trust at the core of how our business stays strong, stable, and able to grow.

We’re looking for someone with real drive, someone who takes ownership, brings energy to the role, and understands that controlling our debtors isn’t just about chasing payments, it’s about protecting the entire operation. Every decision you make will directly impact cash flow, customer relationships, and the confidence we have to move forward as a business.

You’ll be responsible for owning and controlling our debtor ledger end-to-end. That means getting the fundamentals right from the start, ensuring every account is set up correctly, credit limits are respected, and payment terms are clearly agreed before orders are processed. You’ll spot risks early, act decisively, and never allow issues to drift.

There will be times where you’ll need to take firm action, placing accounts on stop or progressing matters through our legal support when required. But just as importantly, you’ll know how to build understanding and maintain relationships, balancing firmness with fairness. You’ll listen, communicate clearly, and stand your ground when it matters, always upholding the standards we’ve agreed.

You’ll also support customer services and bookkeeping activities, playing a key role in keeping both financial and operational processes running smoothly.

We expect high standards, including maintaining debtor days below an average of 38 and we need someone who takes pride in hitting and sustaining those targets.

Above all, we’re looking for loyalty, resilience, and a strong work ethic. Someone who backs the business and thrives as part of a team working towards a common goal.

If you’ve got that fire in your belly and the confidence to take control, we want to hear from you.
