Nord Anglia Education – the world’s leading private school’s organisation is recruiting a Group Financial Controller. You will be joining the Finance team in our London Victoria HQ.
London is our global headquarters where 200 colleagues across Finance, Risk, Corporate Development, Legal, HR, Marketing, Admissions & Communications (MAC) and Education drive the success of our 80+ schools in 30+ countries. By joining our fast paced and innovative organisation, you will be regularly liaising with our global team-mates from the Philippines to Peru, from Beijing to Boston and beyond.
If you have a global mindset, enjoy thinking outside the box and are prepared to go above and beyond to find solutions, then a career at Nord Anglia is for you.
In the role of Group Financial Controller, you will be responsible for leading the Group’s financial and statutory reporting processes, including the preparation and consolidation of group and subsidiary accounts under IFRS. You’ll also take ownership of coordinating year-end and ad-hoc audits—ensuring we meet the highest standards of accuracy, compliance, and governance as we continue to scale.
We’re looking for a technically excellent Qualified Accountant with at least eight years’ experience in complex, high-pressure environments. But technical skill alone isn’t enough—you’ll need the confidence, credibility, and leadership to influence at senior levels, drive change, and thrive in a dynamic, ever-shifting landscape.
You’ll collaborate closely with our Group Head of FP&A, Group Head of Tax, Head of Corporate Finance & Treasury, and Head of Finance Transformation, as well as Regional Finance Managers. You’ll also partner with our Risk, Internal Audit, and Legal teams to strengthen our internal controls and support robust, compliant operations worldwide.
This is more than a reporting role—it’s a strategic leadership position at the heart of our global business. As a true team player, you’ll help unite central, regional, and local finance teams around a shared vision, building the financial clarity and confidence we need to grow at speed and at scale.
