We’re working with a growing, project‑led property business that has recently secured multi‑year funding and is now strengthening its senior finance capability. This is a step‑change hire for the business, upgrading to Financial Controller to reflect the level of ownership and commercial impact required.
Base pay range
£70,000‑£80,000 + benefits; equity participation after year one
Opportunity
The Financial Controller will take full responsibility for the finance function, running it day‑to‑day and improving its long‑term operation. You will work closely with the CEO and senior leadership team, acting as a true commercial partner rather than a back‑office function.

- Cashflow forecasting and financial modelling
- Board reporting and senior stakeholder reporting

- Leading a finance transformation – redesigning reporting, processes and models
- Improving how finance supports and interacts with wider teams
- Structured handover period with the current Finance Director, followed by independent control.

- Experience in project‑based or asset‑led environments (property, construction, development, consultancy or similar)
- The ability to own and explain numbers clearly to non‑finance stakeholders
- Confidence working directly with senior leaders and decision‑makers
- A proactive, improvement‑led mindset – comfortable challenging how things are done
- Strong communication skills and an approachable working style
Working pattern & package
