Job Description:

A market-leading, highly prestigious hedge fund is looking to hire an ambitious Financial Controller.

This is a highly progressive role, reporting to the Finance Director and overseeing the work of 2 newly qualified accountants. Initially, you will lead financial control for a key UK entity, and upon establishing yourself, expand to cover additional international entities across Asia. The role encompasses financial reporting, P&L variance analysis, local GAAP adjustments (UK GAAP and US GAAP), and value-added projects including process and system improvements. The experience gained will prepare you for future roles as FD and CFO, especially through managing entities and working on tangible value-add projects.

This position is suitable for a qualified accountant with 3+ PQE and strong technical accounting knowledge. Extensive experience in financial services is essential, along with confidence in engaging with stakeholders at all levels, including C-suite finance and non-finance professionals. Strong Excel and system skills are required, along with a problem-solving mindset.

The role offers a substantial increase in base salary plus a minimum 50% bonus. The firm can sponsor the right candidate, who must currently reside in the UK.
