A rare opportunity to join a high-growth international tech business undergoing significant transformation and investment. The business has just been purchased by a larger corporate.
We are seeking a Group Financial Controller to lead the Financial Control function of just under 20 people and help build a scalable, best-in-class finance organisation capable of supporting the next phase of growth. This role reports directly to the CFO and offers significant visibility across the business, combining operational finance leadership, financial control, systems transformation, governance and integration work.

- Strengthening financial controls and governance
- Driving SOX readiness and compliance initiatives
- Leading finance transformation and process improvement
- Supporting the future integration of systems and processes
- Building a scalable finance operating model
- Developing and leading an internationally dispersed finance team
Key Responsibilities
Financial Control & Reporting
- Oversee monthly, quarterly and annual reporting cycles
- Ensure accurate and timely statutory reporting across multiple jurisdictions
- Lead consolidated reporting and month-end close activities
- Strengthen internal controls and governance frameworks
- Manage external audit relationships
