Group Financial Controller

We're working with a rapidly growing SME (c.30% YoY growth) to recruit a hands on Financial Controller to take ownership of the group finance function during an exciting phase of scale.

The business operates across 10+ legal entities, including 3 trading entities, and has grown both organically and through acquisition. This is a critical hire to strengthen financial control, group reporting, and technical accounting capability.

The successful candidate will take responsibility for the end to end finance function, with a strong focus on group accounting and technical matters. There is also genuine scope to contribute to finance transformation, as systems are not yet fully integrated and consolidated reporting processes need development.

• Ownership of financial control across a multi entity group
• Preparation of group consolidations
• Acquisition accounting, including original investment accounting
• Accounting for goodwill and intangible assets
• Handling complex technical accounting issues
• Statutory accounts preparation and audit management
• Improving systems, processes, and group reporting infrastructure

• ACA/ACCA/CIMA qualified
• Likely a second mover from practice, or an SME Financial Controller with full function ownership experience
• Strong background in group accounting and consolidation
• Confident with technical accounting in a fast growth environment
• Comfortable working in a less structured, scaling business
• Proactive, resilient, and able to operate with minimal hand holding

• Join a high growth, ambitious SME at a key inflection point
• Broad role with genuine ownership and autonomy
• Exposure to acquisitions and complex group accounting
• Opportunity to influence and modernise the finance function
• This role would suit a technically strong Financial Controller looking for breadth, challenge, and long term progression in a growing business.
