Group Financial Controller

Most FC adverts promise “progression” and mean “we’ll think about it in three years”. This one is different – the CFO said it to us directly: he wants someone ambitious enough to use this role as a stepping stone, and he’ll back them to do it. CMA Recruitment Group is partnering with a multi-site group headquartered in central Southampton – a genuinely interesting business with £15m+ turnover across four entities, where finance sits close to the operation and you can see the impact of your numbers from the office window.

The CFO is new in post, ambitious, and currently buried in month end when he should be doing strategy. He isn’t looking for a caretaker – he’s looking for someone to genuinely take it off him, with real ownership from day one and no layers between you and the decision-maker.
