The Opportunity
We’re working with a high-growth AI scale-up that is looking to appoint a Financial Controller as it enters an exciting stage of growth. This is a genuine opportunity to join a fast-moving technology business and take ownership of the financial control environment while working closely with senior leadership.
The role will suit an ACA or ACCA qualified accountant with 2–5 years’ post-qualified experience, ideally gained within a high-growth technology environment. You’ll be joining a business where Finance is central to the next phase of growth with the opportunity to improve processes, strengthen reporting and build a scalable finance function.
The Role
As Financial Controller, you will take ownership of the day-to-day financial control and reporting function, ensuring the business has accurate, timely and commercially useful financial information. You will also manage a team of two, providing leadership, development and oversight while continuing to operate at a hands-on level.
