We are seeking a technically strong Financial Controller to join a purpose-led international group. You will lead group consolidation and become the trusted point of reference for accounting and financial reporting across multiple entities.

Reporting to the Finance Director and CFO, this is a hands-on role for someone who likes getting into the detail. You will resolve complex accounting questions and make sure the consolidated numbers stand up to scrutiny. You will bring sound technical judgement and practical delivery, giving leadership confidence in group reporting and helping the finance function run more effectively.

Experience with M&A and divestments will be particularly valuable. This includes an understanding of the accounting, reporting and control considerations that come with transactions and changes in group structure.

The role

• Lead the group consolidation across international entities, including intercompany reconciliations and eliminations, foreign currency translation and alignment of entity reporting.
• Take hands-on ownership of month-end close and group financial reporting, ensuring accurate results, well-supported balance sheet reconciliations and clear commentary on key movements.
• Be the technical accounting go-to for the Finance Director, CFO and wider finance team, researching complex matters, documenting accounting positions and giving practical guidance.
• Support M&A and divestment activity, assessing the effect on the group structure and consolidation, and contributing to transaction accounting, acquisition integration and disposal accounting.
• Coordinate statutory reporting and external audit across the group, preparing supporting schedules and resolving technical queries with auditors and advisers.
• Strengthen financial controls and governance across entities, identifying gaps, fixing underlying issues and ensuring accounting policies are applied consistently.
• Improve finance processes and reporting quality, working with the Finance Director and CFO to prioritise changes and deliver practical improvements.

About you

You are a CA or CPA qualified finance professional with strong financial control experience and a thorough understanding of accounting standards. You have hands-on consolidation experience in a multi-entity group, ideally with international entities. An audit or professional services background, complemented by commercial experience, would be highly regarded.

You have supported M&A activity and have exposure to divestments, and you can assess what they mean for financial reporting. This may include transaction accounting, acquisition integration, disposal accounting, or working with advisers and auditors on technical treatments.

You are comfortable moving between complex technical matters and the day-to-day work needed to deliver reliable results. You question inconsistencies, investigate underlying issues and take ownership through to resolution.

Just as importantly, you communicate clearly. You can explain an accounting position, recommend a practical approach and work constructively with senior leadership and the wider business.

You are available to start immediately.

Build something longer term

Initially offered as a 12-month contract, this role has the potential to become permanent. It is a chance to show your value, build strong relationships with the Finance Director and CFO, and help shape the long-term development of the group finance function.
