We are seeking an experienced Financial Controller to oversee the organisation’s financial operations and support sound commercial decision-making. This role will be responsible for maintaining accurate financial records, ensuring robust controls, and delivering timely, insightful reporting to senior stakeholders. The successful candidate will combine strong technical accounting expertise with a practical, business-focused approach and the ability to work effectively across multiple teams.
Key responsibilities will include managing the month-end and year-end close processes; preparing management accounts, budgets, forecasts, and cash-flow reports; overseeing general ledger activities, reconciliations, and statutory reporting; and ensuring compliance with relevant accounting standards, tax requirements, and internal policies. You will establish and improve financial controls, identify and manage risk, and provide analysis and recommendations to support operational and strategic decisions. The role will also involve coordinating external audits, monitoring financial performance against agreed targets, and leading or mentoring members of the finance team. You will work closely with department heads to improve financial understanding, strengthen processes, and promote accountability.
Applicants should hold a recognised professional accounting qualification or be qualified by significant relevant experience, with a strong background in financial control, reporting, and compliance. Experience using modern accounting systems and advanced spreadsheet tools is essential, as is the ability to interpret complex financial information and communicate it clearly to non-finance colleagues. You will be highly organised, analytical, and commercially aware, with excellent attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving. The ability to manage competing priorities, meet deadlines, and operate with discretion is required. Experience of process improvement, team leadership, and working in a changing environment would be advantageous.
