The Expanded Metal Company
Ready to expand your horizons?
You’re an ambitious, qualified accountant, looking for that route to become financial director.
But you’re not getting the development you need and there is no clear progression.
If you’re thinking “that’s me”, then this role as financial controller for The Expanded Metal Company is for you.
This role has come about due to the current Financial Controller leaving and the planned retirement of the Financial Director.
So, working closely with the FD, you’ll learn the company and industry, developing your skills as a finance leader.
Then in six to nine months’ time, when you have proved yourself, you’ll step into their shoes and lead the finance function.
At both levels, you’ll receive an annual incentive scheme based on reaching performance objectives.
And at FD level, you’ll receive private medical insurance and a car allowance.
You’ll get 26 days of holiday, plus bank holidays, and you’ll be able to start your weekends sooner with a 1 pm finish on a Friday.

What you’ll do and what you’ll need
You’ll manage the current finance team so previous experience is necessary, and you’ll also mentor and develop the current Finance Assistant so they are able to step up as Financial Controller in due course.
Acting as a strategic partner to fellow senior managers and directors, you’ll prepare and present financial reports for key stakeholders, and lead the financial planning and budgeting process across the business.
You will represent the company to external parties such as investors, bankers, auditors, insurers, and legal/tax advisers.
You’ll be a qualified accountant with experience in the manufacturing industry.
And you’ll be comfortable in a down-to-earth environment, working from offices on the manufacturing site.
Most importantly, you’re someone who understands the importance of developing your skills and experience to reach your goals, you’re ambitious and take initiative.
