Position title
Financial Controller | Profitable, Founder-Led Healthcare Business | Hybrid – Preston
Description

FD Capital is partnering with a profitable, founder-led healthcare infrastructure business to appoint its first senior internal finance hire — a Financial Controller.

Our client is not VC- or PE-backed. They're profitable, cash-flow-positive, bootstrapped and family-owned, scaling a real operational business with meaningful revenue and complex fulfilment, supplier, stock, cashflow and margin dynamics. This is a genuine build role: you'll establish and run the internal finance function from the ground up, with the support of an incoming fractional CFO who is shaping the strategic finance roadmap above you.

It's an outstanding opportunity for a hands-on controller who wants ownership, visibility and a clear path to grow into a Head of Finance / FD role as the business scales.

What you'll own

  • Building and running the day-to-day internal finance function
  • Month-end close management and bookkeeping review
  • Accounts payable, payment controls and payment-run processes
  • Supplier reconciliations, statements, credit notes, rebates, renewals and trackers
  • Bank and card controls
  • Cash visibility reporting
  • Inventory / COGS finance reporting
  • The finance inbox and supplier queries
  • Operational management information, finance SOPs and team build-out over time
Responsibilities

What our client is looking for

  • A qualified or QBE Financial Controller with strong, hands-on month-end and financial controls experience
  • A track record of building or strengthening finance processes in an SME or scaling operational business
  • Comfort with stock / COGS, supplier reconciliations and AP/payment controls
  • Strong systems and process discipline — someone who can create structure where little exists
  • A self-starter happy to roll up their sleeves now and build a team later
  • Experience in healthcare, pharmacy, e-commerce, fulfilment or a similarly operational, stock-driven environment is welcome but not essential
Qualifications

Why this role

  • First senior finance hire — real ownership and influence from day one
  • Strategic support from an incoming fractional CFO, with a structured first-90-day plan
  • Profitable, growing, founder-led business with no investor-driven short-termism
  • Clear scope to grow into Head of Finance / FD as the function scales
