UK Financial Controller / Finance Director Designate
Resourcery Group Chester
The step from Financial Controller to Finance Director is perhaps one of the hardest, if not the hardest step to take within Finance. In recent years, due to sluggish GDP, sticky inflation and general geo-political uncertainty, genuine FD pathway roles have been relatively few and far between.
Businesses just haven't been focused on hiring with succession planning in mind. So when a business does decide to recruit a Financial Controller position which will transition over the next 3 years into a UK Finance Director role it si worth taking note.
The role of UK Financial Controller will work shadowing the current FD building long-term cross functional stakeholder relationships with commercial and operational business leaders on a pan-European and global basis. Working with the FD, you will support the global SSC Director and lead a small but capbale technically trained finance team.
