Financial Controller

I'm currently working with a fast-growing, private equity-backed energy business that is looking to appoint a high-calibre Financial Controller to join its UK finance function. The business operates across the energy and low-carbon infrastructure sector, with a growing portfolio of operational assets and significant investment planned across the UK.

This is a particularly exciting time to join. The business is scaling rapidly, investing heavily in its platform and assets, and looking to build a finance function capable of supporting the next phase of growth.

We're looking for a Financial Controller who is comfortable operating in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and who can take ownership, lead from the front and improve the finance function.

You'll have significant exposure across:

• Financial control, reporting and month-end
• Management reporting and FP&A
• Cash flow and working capital
• CapEx and project/infrastructure spend
• Budgeting, forecasting and financial planning
• Improving systems, controls and processes
• Supporting business growth and investment activity
• Working closely with senior leadership and the wider business

We're particularly interested in people who have operated within:

• Renewable energy / energy / utilities
• Energy or infrastructure investment
• Infrastructure-heavy or asset-backed businesses
• High-CapEx environments
• PE-backed or rapidly scaling businesses

You'll be someone who can hit the ground running, commercially minded, hands-on, technically strong and confident enough to challenge the business where needed. This is a role for someone who doesn't need their hand held. You'll be expected to identify what needs improving, take ownership and make things happen.
