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.
