Financial Controller | London | £80,000 – £90,000
About the role
Our client, an international business with operations across multiple entities, is hiring a Financial Controller to take primary ownership of financial reporting for a designated group of legal entities, covering month-end, half-year and year-end reporting, and statutory filing obligations under IFRS and relevant local frameworks.
This is a hands-on role. You'll be relied on for strong operational accounting, robust internal controls, effective cashflow management, and efficient management of the external audit process, while acting as a partner to the wider finance team, improving reporting accuracy and transparency, and driving continuous process improvement. No direct reports, you'll be doing the work yourself, not managing a team to do it.
You'll report into a Regional Financial Controller.
What you'll be doing
Financial Reporting & Control
- Lead preparation and first-level review of month-end, half-year and year-end close across multiple entities, with insightful variance commentary and timely delivery of internal and external submissions, including annual financial statements
- Apply IFRS day-to-day in routine accounting transactions, not just technical knowledge, but hands-on application
- Own general ledger operations: preparing and posting journals, account reconciliations, investigating variances
- Run entity-level budgeting and forecasting with commentary that clearly articulates key drivers, trends and risks
- Maintain strong internal controls and proactively address deficiencies
- Support accounts payable queries and drive GL accuracy through the month-end close
- Drive process standardisation and strengthen accounting policies
