☕ We're Recruiting for Financial Controller
Love coffee? Love numbers? Love building something that’s growing fast?
You might be our next Financial Controller.
Who We Are
Ue Coffee Roasters is an ambitious, independent coffee roaster with big plans and even bigger energy. We’re scaling fast, we care deeply about what we do, and we’re serious about building a financially rock-solid business to support our growth.
The Opportunity
This is not a back-office, spreadsheet-only role. As our Financial Controller, you’ll own everything financial — from management accounts and cash flow forecasting to VAT, audits, and commercial projects. You’ll work closely with our MD and Fractional CFO, helping shape decisions that genuinely move the business forward.
If you enjoy being hands-on, solving problems, and making finance actually useful, this role is for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
Owning the P&L and balance sheet (and keeping them squeaky clean)
Producing monthly management accounts with insight, not just numbers
Building and maintaining robust cash flow forecasts
Handling VAT, HMRC and compliance like a pro
Making sure COGS and stock actually makes sense
Keeping AP & AR tight and under control
Leading the annual audit without breaking a sweat
Improving processes, systems, and reporting as we grow
Jumping into ad-hoc commercial projects that help scale the business
Who We’re Looking For
You’ll likely be:
A finance professional with a recognised accountancy qualification.
Experienced in an SME, start-up, or scale-up environment.
Comfortable in a hands-on, fast-paced role.
Strong on cash flow, controls, and commercial insight.
Confident in explaining finance to non-finance people.
Detail-driven, proactive, and not afraid to roll up your sleeves.
Experience with Sage, Xero or similar, plus solid Excel skills, is a must.
The Details
Role: Financial Controller
Hours: Full-time, Monday–Friday, 8:30am–4:00pm
Location: Office-based
Reporting to: MD, with dotted line to Fractional CFO
Why Join Us?
Full ownership of the finance function
Real influence in a growing, entrepreneurial business
A leadership team that genuinely values finance
Great coffee (obviously ☕)
