A cross-industry provider of complex test systems that provides solutions to the Aerospace and Defence industry is, due to retirement, looking for a Financial Controller to join their team.

You…

To succeed in this role it's essential you have experience of a similar role - you'll understand the workings of an SME and also be aware of corporate governance. Sector wise they're open although any experience of the aerospace / defence sector would certainly hold you in good stead (as would knowledge of Sage 200). Qualifications wise you'll ideally be fully qualified but part qualified would be considered. And finally - you'll have a real desire to make things happen.
