We’re partnering with a high-growth, private equity-backed international business to appoint a Group Financial Controller. Operating within a recurring revenue, asset-backed model with SaaS-like characteristics, the business is entering an exciting phase of scalable organic growth.
This is a high-impact leadership role offering full ownership of group reporting and consolidation across multiple international entities. You’ll work closely with the CFO, taking responsibility for delivering accurate, investor-grade financial reporting while driving consistency, control, and technical excellence across the finance function.
The Role
You’ll lead the Group’s financial reporting function end-to-end, ensuring timely and accurate reporting across multiple jurisdictions and currencies. The business is operationally straightforward but requires strong technical accounting capability and disciplined financial governance.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning monthly, quarterly, and annual group consolidations
- Delivering high-quality management and statutory reporting
- Managing multi-currency consolidations and intercompany eliminations
- Overseeing US reporting requirements and US GAAP compliance
- Leading group audit processes and technical accounting matters
- Maintaining strong balance sheet control and group reconciliations
- Managing shared service centres across Europe
- Supporting and mentoring UK and US Financial Controllers
- Enhancing reporting quality, controls, and finance processes across the Group
- Supporting acquisition integrations where required
An ideal candidate
We’re looking for a technically strong finance leader who enjoys ownership, accountability, and operating within a structured PE-backed environment.
You’ll likely have:
- ACA qualification (or equivalent)
- Strong experience within private equity-backed businesses
- Extensive multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation experience
- Deep understanding of US GAAP and international reporting environments
- Exposure to recurring revenue, SaaS-style, leasing, rental, or asset-backed business models
- Strong audit and technical accounting expertise
- SAP experience beneficial but not essential
