Financial Controller

Salary: £60,000 to £70,000 per annum

Location: Runcorn

Role Type-: Full Time

Role summary

MedPal is looking to appoint a capable, hands-on Financial Controller to help manage the finance function and provide the CFO with reliable, timely and accurate financial information.

This is a hands-on Financial Controller role working within a small team consisting of yourself and a Finance Assistant. The business needs someone who can lead the day-to-day finance operation, manage the monthly reporting cycle, strengthen controls and remain sufficiently close to the detail to ensure the numbers are accurate, timely and reliable.

The successful candidate will be responsible for the monthly reporting process, financial controls, month-end processes, reconciliations, payroll oversight, VAT, supplier payments and the day-to-day running of the finance team. They will also support the CFO with board reporting, forecasting, budgeting, fundraising support and statutory reporting requirements.

The role requires a strong technical and control-focused finance professional who can bring rigor to reporting, accounting processes, statutory requirements and group reporting, while supporting the CFO on wider commercial finance matters.

Key responsibilities

Include but are not limited to:

Lead and manage the day-to-day finance function
Maintain strong financial controls across the business
Improve finance processes, systems and reporting routines
Oversee accounts payable and accounts receivable processes
Ensure accurate processing of invoices, payments, expenses and bank reconciliations
Manage and support the Accounts Assistant
Ensure finance deadlines and reporting requirements are met
Own the month-end close process
Prepare monthly management accounts (P&L, balance sheet and cash flow)
Complete and review balance sheet reconciliations
Produce monthly reporting packs for senior leadership and the board
Deliver variance analysis against budget and forecasts
Support year-end statutory accounts and external audit processes
Lead on technical accounting and IFRS matters where required
Liaise with auditors, tax advisers and external stakeholders
Support cash flow forecasting and working capital management
Assist with budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling
Monitor financial performance and identify risks and opportunities
Oversee VAT, payroll, PAYE and compliance processes
Improve use of Xero, reporting structures and finance system automation

Person specification

The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant, likely ACA, ACCA or CIMA, with strong experience in a Financial Controller, Finance Manager or similar role.

They must be comfortable in a hands-on SME environment where the finance function is still developing and where practical involvement, ownership and attention to detail are required.

Essential experience

Qualified accountant or qualified by experience with strong relevant background.
Strong financial control and reporting experience.
Good balance sheet control and reconciliation discipline.
Experience leading month-end close.
Strong management accounts experience.
Strong technical accounting knowledge.
Experience with statutory accounts and audit processes.
Good understanding of IFRS and consolidations, or the ability to lead these areas with support from advisers where needed.
Strong cash flow and working capital awareness.

Strong Excel skills.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving, growing business.

Experience supporting fundraising, investor reporting or lender reporting.
Organised and deadline driven.
