We are a business in transformation — investing in our systems, our people, and our processes — and we are looking for commercially minded finance professionals who want to be part of building something of real quality.

Role Overview

The Finance Controller is a senior, hands-on role within the group finance function, reporting directly to the Head of Finance. The post holder will take full ownership of the month-end close process, lead the accounting team, and act as a key driver of financial controls and reporting quality across the group. This is an excellent opportunity for a qualified accountant who is looking to operate at a meaningful level within an acquisitive, PE-backed business and contribute to a period of significant growth and system transformation.

• Lead, manage, and develop the accounting team, setting clear expectations and supporting professional growth
• Run the annual audit process as primary contact for external auditors, ensuring a clean and well-prepared audit file
• Support tax advisors with the preparation of corporation tax returns and all relevant supporting documentation
• Prepare and submit VAT returns accurately and on time across all group entities
• Prepare statutory accounts for all entities in compliance with UK GAAP and applicable regulatory requirements
• Own the group cash flow forecast, manage day-to-day cash positions, and produce weekly cash reporting for senior leadership
• Manage group banking relationships and execute banking tasks across entities
• Lead the rollout of Microsoft Business Central (ERP) to group companies, working with internal stakeholders and external implementation partners
• Project-manage the consolidation of group banking to a single provider
• Integrate future acquired entities into group finance processes, systems, and controls
• Ensure appropriate financial controls are in place and operating effectively across the group
• Own the balance sheet reconciliation process, maintaining accuracy and integrity at all times

• Qualified accountant — ACA preferred; ACCA or CIMA also considered
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is highly desirable
• Advanced Excel skills, with the ability to work accurately with large and complex datasets
• Proven experience managing or mentoring junior finance staff

• Experience of audit processes, statutory accounts preparation, and VAT compliance
• Exposure to cash flow forecasting and treasury management within a group structure
• Continuous improvement mindset — always looking for smarter, more efficient ways of working
• Genuine interest in how AI and automation can improve the quality and efficiency of finance functions
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, acquisitive environment with the ability to manage competing priorities
