Fanvue is one of the fastest-growing creator monetisation platforms globally. We're an AI-powered, creator-first platform helping creators connect, engage, and earn directly from their audiences at scale. Following our recent Series A, Fanvue has surpassed $200m+ in annual recurring revenue, with triple-digit year-on-year growth, supporting hundreds of thousands of creators and millions of fans worldwide.
We have gone from 45 people to over 130 in a year while doubling revenue. Finance has kept pace, but the processes underneath were built for a much smaller company, and our first statutory audit is coming. This role exists to build the controls and reporting discipline a business at this scale should already have.
🎯 The Role
We're hiring a Financial Controller to own Fanvue's financial operations and reporting, reporting directly to our VP Finance.
This is hands-on. You will own statutory reporting, compliance and management accounting, while strengthening controls, improving reporting accuracy and taking cost out. It suits a qualified accountant with strong technical knowledge under IFRS, commercial instincts, and experience building finance processes that scale rather than inheriting ones that already work.
You will have real influence on how the finance function is built, because much of it is still being built.
🚀 What You'll Do
- Lead the month-end and quarter-end close, delivering timely and accurate reporting
- Prepare management accounts, cash flow forecasts and variance analysis
- Own statutory reporting and compliance under IFRS and UK GAAP
- Manage VAT filings, PAYE submissions and annual HMRC returns
- Maintain and optimise Xero and the wider finance stack, including Dext, Pleo and ApprovalMax
- Support annual audits and manage the relationship with external accountants
- Strengthen internal controls, financial policies and reporting processes
- Partner with leadership on budgeting, forecasting and margin improvement
- Take on projects including R&D tax credit claims and system integrations

✨ You'll Thrive Here If
- You want to build the finance function rather than run one someone else designed

⚠️ You'll Struggle Here If

- You would rather specialise deeply than cover a broad surface
- You need someone senior to define the controls before you can implement them
