An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Financial Controller to join a newly established, well-funded FCA-regulated consumer finance business in London.
Backed by a major NYSE-listed organisation and significant international investment, the business is embarking on a long-term growth strategy and is building its finance, operational and technology infrastructure from the ground up.
Reporting to the CEO, this is a broad and influential role with responsibility for establishing a robust finance function, developing controls and reporting, and supporting the implementation and optimisation of Microsoft Dynamics.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead monthly management accounts, financial reporting and month-end processes.
- Oversee P&L, balance sheet, cashflow and financial controls.
- Lead budgeting, forecasting, modelling and KPI reporting.
- Support FCA and regulatory reporting requirements.
- Establish strong controls around cash, payments and balance-sheet integrity.
- Manage audit, tax and external adviser relationships.
- Support the implementation and development of Microsoft Dynamics.
- Improve finance processes, automation and management information.
- Work closely with the CEO, senior management, Risk, Compliance and international stakeholders.
The Ideal Candidate
We are seeking a commercially minded, hands-on finance professional who enjoys building rather than simply maintaining an existing function.
You are likely to have:
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification.
- Significant post-qualified financial services experience.
- Strong experience in consumer finance, lending, fintech, banking or payments.
- Experience operating in an FCA-regulated environment.
- Strong financial control, reporting and FP&A experience.
- Experience implementing or developing an ERP/finance system; Microsoft Dynamics would be highly advantageous.
- Ideally, experience within a start-up, scale-up or newly established business.
- The confidence to operate autonomously and engage with senior stakeholders.
Why Join?
This is a genuine opportunity to build the finance function from first principles and play a fundamental role in shaping the systems, controls and reporting infrastructure of a high-growth financial services business.
Importantly, this is a long-term opportunity, supported by significant financial backing and international investment, rather than a short-term build-and-exit project.
