Financial Controller - Reading (hybrid) - £70,000 to £75,000
A brilliant opportunity to join a forward-thinking PE backed business in central Reading. You'll be working closely with the CFO, who is highly commercially minded.
An exit is likely on the cards for the PE house within the next few years, representing an exciting time to join and gain exposure to a Private Equity environment inclusive of a sale.
This role would likely suit someone looking to step up into their first Financial Controller role. Ideally, the CFO is looking for a technically strong accountant and is targeting individuals who were audit trained in practice.
