Group Financial Controller
London | Hybrid | £105,000 to £115,000 + Bonus + Benefits
Broadcasting. Media. Content.
Whatever you call it, this is a business that reaches millions of people every year.
And they're looking for a technically brilliant Group Financial Controller to help support the next stage of growth.
If you're the sort of person who genuinely enjoys accounting, loves getting under the bonnet of a business and gets a weird amount of satisfaction from a perfectly balanced set of accounts, then this could be right up your street.
We're working with a fast-growing international broadcasting business with operations across the UK and US. Turnover is approaching $300m and the business continues to evolve at pace. This isn't a role where you sit on the sidelines reviewing numbers from afar.
You'll lead a team of 9, own the Group reporting process and work closely with the Group Finance Director to ensure the finance function is robust, scalable and fit for the future.
If you enjoy rolling your sleeves up, improving systems and controls and being at the centre of a business that's ambitious and moving quickly, this could be a brilliant opportunity.

Someone who enjoys getting into the detail.
Someone who gets genuine satisfaction from strong controls, clean balance sheets and well-designed processes.
You're technically excellent but equally pragmatic.
A great leader who enjoys developing people.
And someone who's happy to just crack on and get things done.
