London | Hybrid
We are partnering with a fast-growing e-commerce start-up that is now looking to bring in a hands‑on Financial Controller to help professionalise the finance function as the business continues to scale.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a high-growth, entrepreneurial environment where finance is close to the commercial engine of the business. The company has built strong momentum across its online channels and is now at the stage where it needs stronger financial control, better reporting, improved processes and more visibility across margin, stock, cash and performance.
You will work closely with the founders / senior leadership team and take ownership of the core finance function, while helping build the foundations for the next phase of growth.
The Role
You will be responsible for:
- Owning month‑end close, management accounts and balance sheet reconciliations
- Producing clear monthly reporting packs with commentary for senior leadership
- Managing cash flow forecasting, working capital and cost control
- Improving controls, processes and reporting as the business scales
- Supporting budgeting, forecasting and longer‑term planning
- Partnering with commercial, operations and supply chain teams on margin, stock and trading performance
- Managing external accountants, auditors and tax advisors
- Supporting systems/process improvements and automation across finance
- Helping build a scalable finance function suitable for a growing e‑commerce business
The Candidate
The ideal candidate will be:
- Experienced in e‑commerce, D2C, retail, FMCG or another product‑led consumer business
- Comfortable owning financial control in a fast‑paced SME / start‑up environment
- Strong across month‑end, reporting, cash flow, controls and process improvement
- Commercially aware, with an understanding of stock, margin, fulfilment, trading and online performance
- Hands‑on, proactive and happy operating in a lean finance function
- Confident working directly with founders / senior stakeholders
- Someone who can bring structure without slowing the business down
This would suit a strong Finance Manager ready to step up, or an existing Financial Controller looking for more ownership in a scaling consumer brand.
