Group Financial Controller, Dublin South, Hybrid

We are delighted to be exclusively partnering with a high-growth, private equity-backed business at an exciting stage of its evolution. Following recent investment and a series of acquisitions, the organisation is entering a new phase – focused on scaling, integration, and building a robust group structure.

As part of this, they are now looking to appoint a Group Financial Controller to act as a true number two to an impressive Group CFO.

The Opportunity

This is a pivotal role within the business, offering the chance to:

• Take ownership of the day-to-day finance function
• Bring structure, governance and discipline to a rapidly evolving environment
• Play a key role in integrating newly acquired businesses
• Build and shape a scalable finance function from the ground up

The organisation is high-growth and acquisition-led, with further deals in the pipeline and a clear ambition to significantly scale in the coming years.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the day-to-day finance operations, including:

• Month-end close and reporting
• Cashflow management
• Financial controls and governance

Drive improvements across:

• Processes, timelines and reporting quality
• Budgeting, forecasting and performance analysis

Manage and develop the existing finance team, including:

• Reshaping team structure
• Introducing greater rigour and accountability

Support post-acquisition integration:

• Standardising processes across entities
• Embedding consistent reporting and controls

Partner closely with the CFO:

• Enabling them to focus on strategy, growth and investors
• Review and enhance the current systems landscape over time

About You

You will likely bring:

• A professional accounting qualification (ACA or equivalent) with circa 6+ years PQE in industry
• A strong financial control background with hands-on experience across the full finance lifecycle

You will be:

• A self-starter with a “gets it done” mindset
• Comfortable operating in fast-paced, evolving environments
• Confident in driving change and challenging when needed
• Pragmatic, commercial, and solutions-focused

Experience in M&A environments or integration work would be an advantage, but is not essential.
