Financial Controller, Finance Manager
Your new company .
A dynamic and fast‑growing international corporate business is seeking a Financial Controller to join their high‑performing team. This is a rare opportunity to step into a role that will naturally evolve into a leadership position as the business continues its impressive expansion.
Based in smart, friendly offices in West London, the company is known for exceptional staff retention and a strong culture of internal promotion — they very seldom recruit at this level. This vacancy exists purely because the organisation is outperforming the market and scaling rapidly.
You will report to an inspiring, supportive Head of Finance who is passionate about developing talent. The business operates a 5‑day‑in‑office model, but they offer genuine flexibility with the option to start early and finish early (2pm) several days a week. The office is also an easy walk from the station.
Your new role .
In this uniquely broad and influential position, you will take full ownership of all accounting operations for a £200m business — from day‑to‑day financial control through to statutory compliance and strategic financial processes.
You will lead the monthly close, elevate the quality of reporting, and set best‑practice standards across the finance function.
Key responsibilities include:
- Managing the month‑end, year‑end, statutory reporting and external audit.
- Leading the monthly reforecasting process and delivering group reporting submissions.
- Owning the annual budgeting cycle.
- Producing complete management accounts, including income statements and balance sheet reviews.
- Acting as the primary contact for auditors, tax advisors, and regulatory bodies.
- Leading the annual stocktake.
- Deputising for the Head of Finance and helping build a high‑performance finance culture.
What you'll need to succeed
- ACA‑qualified Accountant with strong post‑qualification experience. (Essential)
- Excellent technical accounting knowledge and familiarity with current standards.
- Confident leadership skills with the ability to influence and guide others.
- The resilience and pace to thrive in a fast‑moving, high‑growth environment.
What you'll get in return
- Salary up to £100,000 plus bonus up to 20%.
- Clear career progression, ongoing training, and structured professional development.
- 5% matched pension.
- Private healthcare.
- Death‑in‑service benefit (4x salary).
- 25 days annual leave.
- Flexibility on two days per week to finish early.
