Job Description

We are looking for a Financial Controller to join our global Finance Control team, responsible for ensuring financial integrity and accurate reporting to support the company's growth and stability.

Who are we:

Hello, we’re IG Group. No, not Instagram – though we're a pretty big deal ourselves.

We’re a global, FTSE-listed company made up of progressive fintech brands in online trading and investing. We’ve received numerous awards for our platforms, products, and employee experience.

We believe in financial freedom. Our purpose is to help ambitious people achieve it. Around , people use our innovative technology and platforms to trade financial products they know and love.

Your role in the Team:

This role is crucial for delivering financial insights and maintaining robust controls, impacting business performance. As Financial Controller, you will work closely with our Finance Center of Excellence in Krakow to ensure the integrity of financial information for UK regulated entities, support business decisions, and oversee compliance with FCA CASS regulations. Your leadership will be key in maintaining regulatory standards and supporting our business goals.

The role reports to the Head of Group Reporting and is supported by two team members.

What you’ll do:

• Lead the UK Financial Control team to improve processes and oversee operations by the Finance Center of Excellence in Krakow.
• Manage daily financial operations and controls over reporting for UK-regulated entities.
• Oversee external financial reporting, including preparing financial statements and liaising with auditors.
• Supervise daily client money and asset segregation calculations, review regulatory returns, and represent the UK entities at the Client Money and Asset Committee.
• Collaborate with Finance Business Partners for analysis and support in budgeting and forecasting.
• Work with the Finance Change team on process improvements and project delivery.

Who we’re looking for:

Curious about client experience, tech developments, and fintech regulation? Confident, creative, and innovative? You believe every problem has a solution and are ready to lead and inspire.

We’re not a traditional corporate; if you want a typical suit-and-tie job, we may not be for you. But if you share our energy and values, let’s raise the bar together.

What you’ll need:

• Qualified accountant with experience in financial accounting and FCA CASS regulations.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to see both details and big picture.
• Influencing, persuading, and driving outcomes.
• Excellent communication skills across international stakeholders.

How you’ll grow:

At IG Group, we want more than a job — we want a career. Opportunities to learn, challenge yourself, and achieve your goals are endless as we expand globally and innovate.

The perks:

• Recognition, work-life balance, networks, awards, sports, social clubs, mentorships, volunteering, and more.
• Flexible benefits, private medical, life insurance, gym contributions, extra holidays, and unlimited LinkedIn Learning access.
• Inclusive culture supporting diversity, ESG initiatives, and family-friendly policies.

Where you’ll work:

Hybrid model fostering diversity, flexibility, and innovation. Our culture celebrates authenticity and inclusion, welcoming all backgrounds and perspectives.

If you’re ready to connect with our values and lead in innovation, we’d love to hear from you.
