Salary: Competitive + benefits

Join a global growth story at its most exciting point

Reacton is a global leader in automatic fire suppression. Our pre-engineered systems protect the world's most demanding machines and environments — from mining fleets and heavy plant to buses, marine vessels and critical infrastructure — detecting and extinguishing fires at the source, without power or human intervention.

What began as a UK based, owner-managed manufacturer now forms part of a wider group, home to our trusted Reacton and Fireward brands, with operations across the UK, US and UAE.

In March 2026, United Safety & Survivability Corporation (USSC), one of the leading names in safety and survivability solutions, acquired Reacton Fire Suppression Limited. The partnership combines Reacton's engineering pedigree and close-knit culture with the scale, manufacturing capability and investment of an international leader — opening the door to further growth into Europe, the Middle East, APAC and the Americas, while strengthening USSC's fire suppression capabilities.

It's a rare chance to join at a genuine inflection point, and for the right finance professional, to help build the financial foundations of the group's next chapter.

The role

As Group Financial Controller, you'll oversee all accounting operations across the Reacton Group, covering both Reacton Fire Suppression Ltd and Fireward Ltd. Reporting to the Group Finance Director, you'll own accurate financial reporting, strong internal controls, regulatory compliance and efficient day-to-day operations — while partnering with our operations and sales teams to help drive the business forward.

It's a hands-on, high-visibility position for someone who wants their work to count. You'll lead and mentor the finance team, contribute in weekly operational meetings, and turn numbers into the insight that shapes decisions on pricing, performance and strategy.

Key responsibilities

Managing all day-to-day accounting operations within the finance team, including sales ledger, purchase ledger, general ledger and all banking facilities
Preparing accurate, timely monthly management accounts for Finance Director review, along with financial analysis and supporting reconciliations
Managing cashflow, overseeing cash and optimising accounts receivable and payable processes
Overseeing the payroll function, including pension contributions and benefits
Ensuring accurate and timely completion of VAT returns
Ensuring accuracy, completeness and compliance with accounting standards and company policies, and keeping all records up to date and available for audit
Supporting the operational purchasing and procurement team, including process compliance and costings review
Providing the analytics that support the pricing structure of the business
Attending weekly operational meetings and providing financial support to the wider business
Delivering financial insight to senior management to support informed decision-making
Managing, mentoring and developing members of the finance team
Supporting the annual budgeting process and monitoring financial performance against budget
Monitoring and reviewing business controls, systems and processes, reporting inefficiencies and improvements to the Finance Director
Supporting the Finance Director on planned and ad-hoc projects
Being hands-on and able to cover related duties across the team as required

What you'll bring

Essential

A professional accountancy qualification
Proven experience in a similar role, with strong financial management, analytical and problem-solving skills
A solid grasp of accounting standards and ERP systems
Team leadership experience and excellent communication skills
Strong Excel skills, and the ability to stay calm and diplomatic under pressure

Desirable

5+ years' experience, ideally post-qualified (PQE), and ACCA, CIMA or equivalent
Involvement in audit processes
Experience with Sage 200 (or other Sage products), manufacturing and stock management

Why join us

We're built on passion, innovation, trust, community and hard work — and we value people who lead by example and bring genuine energy to their team. In return, you'll take on a pivotal role at a pivotal time: real influence over strategy and performance, the agility of a close-knit Witham team backed by the resources of a global group, and a mission that genuinely matters — protecting lives and livelihoods around the world.

Ready to grow your career while protecting what matters? Apply today.

Reacton is an equal opportunities employer. Employees may be required to carry out other duties reasonably falling within the scope of the role.
