About Huzzle

At Huzzle, we connect exceptional talent with top opportunities at leading companies across the UK, US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Our clients include fast-growing startups, digital agencies, SaaS companies, and tech-enabled businesses across industries such as MarTech, FinTech, EdTech, and eCommerce. Unlike traditional outsourcing agencies, we place you directly with innovative companies where you become a valued member of the team.

About the company

Our client is a UK-based business operating in the stone worktops industry, specialising in high-quality worktop solutions. The company is focused on delivering excellent products and services while maintaining efficient operations, strong financial controls, and sustainable business growth.

As the business continues to develop, they are looking for an experienced Financial Controller to take full ownership of the company's finance and accounting function. This is an opportunity to work directly with company directors, oversee financial operations, improve reporting processes, and contribute to important commercial decisions.

Job Type: Full-Time (Remote – UK Business Hours)

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced, fully qualified Financial Controller to independently manage the complete finance and accounting function of a UK limited company. This is a hands-on position requiring strong technical accounting knowledge and practical experience with UK financial reporting, VAT, PAYE payroll, HMRC compliance, cash flow management, credit control, and reconciliations. You will work directly with the company directors, ensuring accurate and timely financial reporting while maintaining full compliance with UK accounting and tax requirements. The ideal candidate is someone who can take ownership from day one, requires no training, and has previous experience managing the accounts of UK-based businesses. Experience in construction, manufacturing, stone fabrication, or similar industries would be a strong advantage.

Key Responsibilities

  • Take full ownership of the company's day-to-day finance and accounting operations.
  • Prepare and deliver accurate monthly management accounts, including profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports, by the 10th working day of each month.
  • Prepare year-end financial records and reporting packs for external accountants.
  • Maintain and update rolling 13-week cash flow forecasts.
  • Prepare and submit UK VAT returns through Making Tax Digital (MTD), ensuring all deadlines are met.
  • Manage UK PAYE payroll, including RTI submissions, auto-enrolment pensions, and statutory payments.
  • Handle HMRC correspondence, tax compliance, and relevant reporting requirements.
  • Manage credit control, proactively chasing overdue invoices and maintaining accurate aged-debtor reports.
  • Perform regular bank, card, ledger, VAT, payroll, and control account reconciliations.
  • Oversee purchase ledger activities, including supplier invoice processing and timely payments.
  • Monitor job and project profitability, including material costs, stock usage, and wastage.
  • Produce monthly job-costing and site profitability reports.
  • Identify opportunities to improve financial processes, reporting systems, and accounting automation.
  • Work directly with company directors, providing financial insights and supporting business decisions.

Requirements

  • Fully qualified accountant with ACCA, CIMA, ACA, or an equivalent recognised professional qualification.
  • Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience independently managing the full accounts function of a UK limited company.
  • Proven experience preparing monthly management accounts, P&L statements, balance sheets, and year-end figures without supervision.
  • Strong practical knowledge of UK VAT and Making Tax Digital, including end-to-end VAT return preparation and submission.
  • Experience managing UK PAYE payroll, RTI submissions, auto-enrolment pensions, and statutory payments.
  • Practical experience with UK tax compliance and HMRC requirements.
  • Strong credit control experience, including directly chasing customers for overdue payments by phone and email.
  • Excellent knowledge of bank, card, ledger, and control account reconciliations.
  • Proficiency in cloud accounting software such as Xero, Sage, or QuickBooks. Xero experience is particularly valuable.
  • Strong Excel skills and the ability to produce accurate financial reports.
  • Previous experience working with UK clients, directors, suppliers, or accounting firms.
  • Excellent written and spoken English communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently, solve problems, and meet deadlines without supervision.
  • Own reliable computer, high-speed internet connection, and a quiet, secure remote workspace.
  • Availability to work UK business hours.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Previous experience in construction, manufacturing, stone fabrication, kitchen and bathroom, or building materials industries.
  • Knowledge of CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) and the construction VAT domestic reverse charge.
  • Experience with job costing, project profitability, stock management, and material wastage tracking.
  • Experience with CRM or job-management systems integrated with accounting software.
  • Experience implementing new accounting software, improving financial processes, or automating reporting.
  • Experience with vehicle finance, fleet costs, banking relationships, and business lending.
  • Registered as an HMRC agent or previous experience working with HMRC agent access.
