Client Details

Collaborative. Positive. Respectful. Organised. Exceptional People Skills.

The role of the Financial Controller is a vital role within the Accounts Team at Echo and plays a pivotal role in keeping the financial reporting, planning, debt management, and budget management organised and up to date.

The role requires you to be analytical, numerical and have excellent problem-solving skills with the ability to work to tight deadlines.

The Financial Controller will be responsible for supporting the Accounts Team so strong personal and communication skills alongside confident leadership and management skills are a must.

At Echo, our workflow approach is a hybrid. Dependent on the nature of the works, we combine the structured predictability of the Waterfall method with the flexible adaptability of Agile.
