Group Financial Controller
High-Growth SaaS Technology Business | London | £90,000-£120,000 + Bonus + Bens
The Consultancy Group has been retained by an exceptionally well-funded technology business to appoint its first Group Financial Controller.
This is a rare opportunity to join a high-growth, venture-backed software company at a pivotal stage of its journey. With a highly experienced leadership team, significant market opportunity, and ambitious growth plans, the business is now seeking a finance leader who can establish the foundations required to support scale.
The role has been created because the business has reached a point where stronger financial infrastructure, reporting capabilities, and financial controls are needed to support future growth. While the company remains lean and entrepreneurial, the executive team recognises the importance of building a robust finance function ahead of the next phase of expansion.
Reporting directly to the CFO and working closely with an impressive executive leadership team that has successfully built and scaled category-leading technology businesses, you will have the opportunity to shape finance from the ground up and become a trusted commercial partner to the wider organisation.
The Opportunity
This is far more than a traditional controllership role.

The Candidate
