Looking for a part-time role where you can still make a big impact? This could be just the thing.

Financial Controller (Part-Time, 3 days per week) | International Consumer Brand | Leicester Hub 

This is a fast-growing, international consumer brand that’s made waves in the direct-to-consumer space. In just three years they’ve scaled to revenues of around £9m, with ambitious plans to reach £25m this year and £35m moving forward. They’re building their UK hub in Leicester to support the next phase of international growth — and this is a chance to join at a pivotal moment.

They’re looking for their first in-house Financial Controller, someone who can roll up their sleeves and take ownership of day-to-day finance, while helping shape the function for the future. You’ll work closely with the CFO, freeing them up to focus on strategy while you bring rigour, structure, and commercial input to the numbers.

This isn’t just about keeping the lights on. It’s about building the foundations of a best-in-class finance function — embedding robust processes, leading an ERP migration, and putting systems in place that will scale with the business. The right person will have the technical know-how to implement these processes now, but over time the role will naturally evolve to be less hands-on and more commercial: focusing on product and SKU performance, revenue streams, and leading a growing finance team.

If you enjoy variety, autonomy, and being part of a high-growth journey — you’ll love it here.

The Role (3 days per week, hybrid working):

• Own the month-end close, group consolidations and reporting
• Oversee cashflow forecasting, AP/AR and supplier payments
• Lead statutory accounts and coordinate the first audit
• Support the ERP migration (QuickBooks to NetSuite)
• Partner with channel leads and senior stakeholders to provide commercial insight
• Manage outsourced finance teams in the UK and U.S.
• Contribute to projects that will scale and streamline finance across the group

What’s on Offer:

• £60,000 – £75,000 FTE (pro-rata for 3 days)
• Flexible working: remote initially, hybrid from the Leicester hub
• The rare chance to shape finance in a global scale-up — without needing to work full-time
• A supportive, entrepreneurial culture where you’ll have real ownership 

What they’re looking for:

• ACA / ACCA (or equivalent), technically strong and commercially minded
• Ideally exposure to U.S. GAAP or U.S. entities (audit or policy) — not a deal breaker!
• Someone who thrives in entrepreneurial, fast-paced environments
• Comfortable working independently and shaping processes from scratch
• Hands-on, pragmatic, and confident partnering with senior leaders
• Ambition to grow into a more commercial role, analysing performance and building out the team

A great role, in a high-growth brand — flexible, visible, and genuinely exciting.
