Financial Controller
Company: NEVER.NO UK LTD
Location: Manchester, England, United Kingdom
Role: Accounting/Finance
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to step into a role that genuinely shapes the direction of a fast-moving, growth-stage tech business. As Financial Controller at Dizplai, you will build and evolve the finance function, going beyond typical responsibilities. You will work directly alongside the COO, with visibility at leadership level and influence over commercial decisions.
The Role
- Group Finance & Reporting: Lead month‑end close, consolidation, and reporting across all entities with robust balance sheet and intercompany control.
- Cash & Treasury: Own real‑time group cash visibility, manage forecasts, working capital, and banking, and report weekly on cash position and risks.
- Management Accounts: Deliver accurate, consolidated monthly management accounts. Produce board and Havila Holding AS reporting packs that leadership actually rely on.
- Statutory Compliance & Audit: Lead statutory accounts preparation across all group entities. Act as the primary liaison for auditors, tax advisors, banks, and HMRC, covering FRS 102, VAT, PAYE, and Corporation Tax.
- Multi‑Territory Indirect Tax: Own the indirect tax compliance framework for D2C expansion across EU OSS, US sales tax, and digital services taxes.
- Systems & Controls: Design and drive group finance processes, using automation, AI, and smart system development to make finance faster and more insightful.
- Bookkeeper Management: Line‑manage a part‑time bookkeeper, developing their output through delegation, coaching, and technology.
- Commercial Support: Run the annual budget and quarterly reforecast cycles, produce variance analysis, and feed directly into commercial modelling and leadership decisions.
About You
You are qualified (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA), typically 1 to 3 years post‑qualification, and you are not looking for a quiet life. You might be coming out of audit and ready to move into industry, or you might be an SME Finance Manager seeking a title and scope that reflects your capabilities.
- Hands‑on SME and multi‑entity experience in month‑end close, consolidation, balance sheet control, and intercompany accounting.
- Solid grounding in statutory accounts, audit, and tax compliance.
- A genuine technology mindset; you embrace AI and modern tools rather than tolerate them.
- Commercial curiosity and confidence to sit in senior stakeholder rooms and add value.
- A growth orientation; you see finance as an enabler, not a gatekeeper.
- Comfort with ambiguity, pace, and being the person who figures things out.
Our Values
- Boundless: Think bigger, innovate beyond the obvious.
- Purposeful Impact: Focus on meaningful results, not effort.
- Collective Strength: Support each other, challenge each other, grow together.
- Positive Balance: Work with intensity and sustainability.
Pay Range
The pay range for this role is: 60,000 – 65,000 GBP per year (Manchester)
