Financial Controller

Financial Controller - Permanent - Saltash - Competitive Salary + Benefits

I’m currently working with an established and growing international technology and manufacturing business to recruit a Financial Controller for their site based in Saltash. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced finance professional to join a forward thinking company offering genuine long term stability, senior level exposure, and the chance to play a key role in business growth and strategic decision making.

This is a broad, hands on Financial Controller position offering full oversight of the finance function alongside involvement in commercial planning, operational support, and leadership across the wider business. The role would suit someone who enjoys working within a fast paced SME environment where they can make a visible impact and be part of a collaborative leadership team.

The business offers a supportive and people focused culture, alongside a strong benefits package including an early finish every Friday. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to work closely with senior leadership, influence key business decisions, and take ownership of a varied and commercially focused finance function.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Preparation of monthly management accounts and year end statutory accounts
• Financial reporting, financial analysis, and multi-currency cashflow forecasting
• Budgeting, forecasting, and management accounting support
• Financial planning and commercial finance support to senior leadership
• Product costing analysis and cost reduction initiatives
• VAT, PAYE, pensions, payroll, and statutory compliance management
• Overseeing accounts payable, accounts receivable, reconciliations, and finance operations
• Managing and supporting the finance team and wider accounts function
• Liaising with overseas subsidiaries, external accountants, banks, and advisors
• Supporting strategic business decisions through meaningful financial insight and reporting

We’re keen to speak with experienced Financial Controllers, Senior Finance Managers, Finance Business Partners, or Management Accountants looking to step into a broader leadership role. Applicants may be ACCA, ACA or CIMA qualified, or qualified by experience.  Previous experience within manufacturing, technology, engineering, or multi-site businesses would be highly advantageous, alongside strong financial reporting, cashflow management, and commercial finance experience.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded finance professional looking for a Financial Controller job in Cornwall offering variety, autonomy, career progression, and the chance to genuinely influence business performance.
