Great pension and holidays A lovely work environment - surrounded by history Mostly onsite, but free parking and flexiblity in the future is possible Financial Controller - £45 -50k - Education | West YorkshireAre you tired of being the numbers person who only gets consulted at month-end?We're looking for a Financial Controller who can do more than just manage the books - someone who can help shape financial strategy while building a best-in-class control environment. What's Actually Going On Here? We're an education provider that believes in making a real difference. Right now, we need someone who can lead our finance function while helping us navigate our strategic plans with sound financial governance. You'll Be Great For This If: You've got a CCAB qualification (That means you're qualified ACA, CIMA, ACCA or CIPFA if you've not seen those letters before) You can translate complex financial concepts into plain English You've developed robust control environments and lived to tell the tale You're comfortable leading a small team and working with senior stakeholders What's Different About This Role? You'll be shaping financial strategy that impacts education outcomes Real leadership opportunity (managing people not just managing processes) Actual input into organisational decision-making A senior team that understands the value of strong financial control The Boring (But Important) Bits: Enhanced annual leave - 30 days plus stats Choice of pension schemes (including local government option) Free on-site parking - you'll be onsite initially (possible hybrid working in the future), so will need to live within reasonable commuting distance but the office is next to a train station so Leeds / Bradford / Skipton / Halifax / Bingley / Ilkley are all in a sensible range Warning: If you're looking for a pure technical reporting role, this isn't it. We need someone who can build relationships, provide strategic insight, and help drive our organisation forward - while maintaining robust financial controls.Want to use your finance skills to make a real difference?
