Commercial Financial Controller | London | PE Backed Real Estate/Property | £70,000 to £100,000 + Bonus & Package
Our client is a high-growth, private equity-backed Commercial Operational Real Estate/Property business. The role offers hybrid working, based near West London.
Operating in a dynamic SME environment, the business is embarking on an buy-and-build strategy with a number of further acquisitions in the pipeline. As they scale toward an eventual PE exit over the next few years, they are looking for a high-calibre, FC to take full ownership of the function, bring rigour and structure, and drive the modernisation of the business, including getting the business through to successful sale.
We are very open to more junior, high calibre candidates who are wanting to step up and be mentored into a strong Commercial FC/FD. Ideally you will have worked for a large fund PE portfolio company.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
