Financial Controller
We are seeking an energetic and commercially minded Financial Controller to join our ambitious, fast-growing organisation. This is a newly created position that sits at the heart of our finance function, with direct reporting responsibility to the Directors.
Our activities span games and book publishing, distribution, product manufacture, and related consumer products. You will be stepping into a dynamic environment where no two days are alike, and where your contribution will be visible and valued from day one.
This role has primary responsibility for leading all aspects of the accounting function across three group entities. Your remit will include developing procedures and controls aligned to accounting standards and best practice to ensure the timely production of statutory and fiscal reporting, ensuring compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements. You will also work closely with the team taking direct ownership of their development including the new post of a Senior Financial Analyst to help strengthen business performance insight.
We are looking for a well-rounded individual who combines technical rigour with strong interpersonal skills. A self-starter who communicates with clarity and confidence and brings energy and initiative to everything they do. You will thrive in a collaborative, largely virtual environment (with occasional office attendance in Fulham, London), and be equally comfortable working independently. A strong problem-solver, resilient under pressure and an effective team player.
