Job description

Apointe is delighted to be partnering with a highly successful international technology business to appoint a Group Financial Controller during a pivotal period of growth, transformation and strategic development.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a senior leadership role, working closely with an impressive CFO and playing a key part in shaping the future of a fast-evolving, global organisation.

The business has an established international presence, strong recurring revenues and ambitious growth plans. As Group Financial Controller, you'll sit at the centre of the finance function, leading financial control, technical accounting and reporting across the Group while helping drive continuous improvement, automation and finance transformation.

This role offers significant exposure to senior stakeholders, Board-level reporting, strategic projects and corporate activity, making it an excellent opportunity for an ambitious finance leader looking to make a genuine impact.

The Opportunity

• Lead Group financial control and reporting across a complex international business.
• Act as the technical accounting expert, ensuring best-in-class IFRS reporting and governance.
• Own the statutory reporting process, external audit relationship and regulatory compliance.
• Continue to enhance and strengthen the Group's control environment.
• Partner with senior leaders across Finance, Commercial, Operations and Executive teams.
• Drive finance transformation initiatives, systems improvements and process automation.
• Lead, develop and inspire a high-performing international finance team.
• Support strategic projects including acquisitions, integration activity and business growth initiatives.

About You

We're looking for an accomplished Financial Controller or Group Financial Controller who combines strong technical expertise with a proactive, commercial mindset.

You will ideally have:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification.
• Significant experience within a complex multi-entity or international environment.
• Strong IFRS and technical accounting expertise.
• Proven experience managing audits, statutory reporting and financial controls.
• A passion for driving change, improving processes and enhancing reporting capability.
• The ability to influence senior stakeholders and operate as a trusted partner to executive leadership.
• Experience within a listed, PE-backed or similarly complex organisation would be highly advantageous.

Why Apply?

This is far more than a traditional financial control role.

You'll join a business where finance has a genuine seat at the table, partnering closely with senior leadership to support strategic decision-making and future growth. With significant visibility across the organisation, you'll have the opportunity to influence change, lead transformation and build on an already strong finance function.

We expect a high level of interest in this opportunity. Whilst we endeavour to respond to all applications, this may not always be possible. If you do not receive a response within 10 working days, please assume your application has not been successful on this occasion. We appreciate your interest and thank you for applying.
