Financial Controller
£70,000 to £80,000 + Benefits | Permanent | Hybrid (3 days in the office) | Central London
A high-growth SaaS platform business is looking to appoint an ambitious Financial Controller to join its growing finance team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ACA-qualified accountant, ideally around 3 years' PQE, who is looking to step into a broad, high-impact role within a technology business that continues to grow.
Reporting directly to an impressive and highly supportive Director of Finance, you'll be given genuine ownership from day one while working alongside someone passionate about developing their team and creating opportunities for people to progress. This is an environment where you'll be trusted, challenged and supported to become a stronger finance leader.
The role is far broader than traditional financial control. You'll take ownership of the month-end close, lead the audit process, oversee key technical accounting areas including revenue recognition, support finance transformation projects and play a key role in strengthening financial reporting and controls as the business continues to scale. You'll also have the opportunity to help shape the future ERP landscape and partner with stakeholders across the wider business.

- A proactive mindset with the confidence to take ownership and improve processes.
