Financial Controller, Caffeine & Machine

Obsessive about accuracy and the detail yet able to connect with the bigger picture, the Financial Controller “does-the-do” and owns end-to-end financial cycle whose output supports fellow leaders in delivering for their members and customers. Accountabilities include:

  • Up to £8,000 bonus per annum, paid quarterly
  • 24 Days Annual Leave + Bank Holiday + Birthday
  • Contributory employer pension
  • 30% off food, drink, hotel, and store for friends and family

Here at C&M we are supportive and open-minded to part-time working. After all, it is the results rather than the time that counts. To this end, we are currently advertising for both a full-time Financial Controller AND a part-time Head of Finance to explore the talent interested in our unique scale-up story. One of these two positions will be recruited, with the part-time leader role paired with additional bookkeeping support to ensure processing power.
