Wonderful chance to run the central finance function of a leading, independent digital media Group.
We are seeking an experienced Group Financial Controller to join a fast-growing, acquisitive business at a pivotal stage of its evolution. Reporting to the CFO, this role will lead the Group finance function, ensuring best-in-class financial reporting, governance, controls and scalable processes across the organisation.
The successful candidate will play a central role in supporting strategic growth initiatives, including acquisition integration, finance transformation and systems migrations:
- Lead the Group’s monthly, half-year and year-end reporting processes, ensuring timely, accurate and high-quality financial information.
- Manage the preparation and consolidation of Group statutory accounts under IFRS.
- Own the Group consolidation process across multiple entities and jurisdictions.
Acquisitions & Integration
- Support financial due diligence and integration activities for acquisitions.
- Lead post-acquisition finance integration, including alignment of reporting, controls, accounting policies and operating processes.
Systems & Finance Transformation
- Lead or support finance systems implementations and migrations, including ERP optimisation and reporting automation initiatives.
Controls, Governance & Process Excellence
- Establish and maintain a robust financial control environment.
- Drive continuous improvement in finance processes, policies and controls to support scalability and operational efficiency.
Leadership & Stakeholder Management
- Lead, mentor and develop the Group finance team, fostering a high-performance culture.
Applications are invited from qualified accountants (ideally ACA) with significant post-qualification experience in a high-growth, acquisitive or private equity-backed business.
You will naturally need strong technical accounting expertise, including IFRS and Group consolidations within complex multi-entity structures. This will help with integrating acquisitions and being closely involved in finance systems transformation programmes.
You will need excellent communication, team and stakeholder management skills, in addition to a strong sense of commercial flair that isn in the DNA of this highly entrepreneurial organisation.
This is a super opportunity for a hands-on Controller to gain a really broad suite of skills in a group that is large and complex enough to be challenging but small enough to offer plenty of exposure to the Board, systems and commercial activities outside head office.
