About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced **Financial Controller** to take ownership of the financial function and help ensure the business has accurate, reliable, and actionable financial information.

This role is ideal for someone who is commercially minded, hands-on, and comfortable working independently. You’ll be responsible for financial transactions, reconciliations, reporting, expenditure oversight, and identifying opportunities to improve financial processes and control costs.

A formal CA qualification is **not essential**. We’re open to candidates with different levels of formal financial training, provided they have strong practical experience and a solid understanding of financial controls, accounting, and reporting.

The ideal person will be someone who doesn’t just process numbers, but is naturally curious about **what the numbers are telling them** and is confident asking questions when something doesn’t look right.

-   Good commercial awareness and the ability to understand the bigger picture.
-   Experience working independently and taking ownership of a financial function.
-   Strong organisational skills and follow-through.
-   Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

### Qualifications

A **CA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent professional qualification** would be highly advantageous, particularly for candidates operating at a more senior level, but **is not a requirement**.

We are equally open to candidates who have built their expertise through substantial hands-on financial experience.

-   Experience with other accounting and financial software

**Advantageous:**

The Person We’re Looking For

You should be:

-   A strong communicator who can explain financial information clearly to non-financial stakeholders.
-   Confident and direct without being abrasive.
-   Comfortable constructively challenging expenditure, processes, or decisions.
