Job Description:

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

This is a highly progressive role, reporting into the Finance Director whilst being responsible for overseeing the work of 2 newly qualified accountants. Initially you will lead financial control for a key UK entity, and once established in the role, expand to cover additional international entities across Asia. This will be a broad role encompassing financial reporting, P&L variance analysis, local GAAP adjustments (UK GAAP and US GAAP) alongside value add projects process and system improvement projects. The experience gained in this role will set you up as a future FD and CFO, due to the advanced level of work, for example establishing and managing entities and working on tangible value add projects.

This will suit a qualified accountant with 3+ PQE and strong technical knowledge across all areas of accounting. It is vital to have extensive experience within the financial services sector, and be confident speaking to a range of stakeholders (this role will regularly interact with C-suite finance and non-finance stakeholders). It is important to have strong excel and systems skills and enjoy finding solutions to complex problems.

The role will offer a substantial increase to your current base salary plus minimum 50% bonus. The firm has scope to sponsor for the right candidate, but candidate must currently live in the UK.
