Group Financial Controller
High-Growth Consumer Business | Build the Finance Function | International Expansion
London | Hybrid Working
£110,000 to £130,000 + Significant Bonus + Equity
About the Role
Some Financial Controller roles are about inheriting a well-established finance function. This one is about building one.
You would be joining a seriously exciting, highly profitable international consumer business that has already grown beyond £100m of revenue and has ambitious plans to significantly increase in size over the next 18–24 months.
The business is growing quickly across new markets, manufacturing, logistics, and international operations. The opportunity now is to build the finance infrastructure capable of keeping pace with that growth.
Reporting directly into senior finance leadership, you will have genuine ownership over what the future finance function looks like. Bringing activity in-house, building the team, strengthening controls, improving reporting, implementing new systems, and creating a scalable finance operation will all form part of the role.
Key Responsibilities
- Own Group financial control, reporting, consolidation, and month-end across a growing international business
- Help build the finance function, bringing key activities in-house and creating the right structure to support continued growth
- Build, lead, and develop the finance team as the business continues to scale
- Take ownership of statutory reporting, year-end, audit, governance, and financial controls
- Manage reporting and accounting requirements across multiple international entities, including the UK and US
- Oversee VAT, sales tax, and wider compliance requirements alongside external advisors
- Improve the quality, accuracy, and speed of financial reporting and management information
- Support international expansion, new entities, and the development of the wider Group structure
- Play a key role in implementing a new ERP and improving the wider finance systems environment
- Drive automation, AI, and process improvement to reduce manual activity and create a scalable finance function
- Help prepare the business for future investment, transactions, and due diligence
- Partner closely with senior leadership, providing financial insight and supporting wider commercial and strategic decisions
