Financial Controller | Hospitality/Restaurants | £90,000 to £110,000 + Bonus | West London - Ealing (Hybrid)
Goodman Masson has partnered with a high-growth, Restaurant group to find their new Financial Controller. Following a recent investment cycle, the business is embarking on an aggressive scaling journey and needs a high-calibre finance leader to step in and professionalise their global accounting function. Offices are based in Ealing, 3 days in 2 at home. Free Parking on site or walkable from station.
This isn't a steady-state maintenance role. Reporting directly to the FD, you will take total ownership of the global finance operation while acting as the driving force behind a major change and modernisation agenda.
The Role
- Reporting: Lead on balance sheet, cash flow and P&L reporting
- Team Management: Manage a team of 8 people.
- Finance Transformation: Review, design, and implement robust internal controls across the global estate to ensure the business is robust and exit-ready.
- System & Process Modernisation: Take the lead on an upcoming consolidation system implementation, moving the business away from manual processes into a scalable, automated setup.
- Global Team Leadership: Manage and upskill a high-performing multi-currency group consolidation team, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
- Technical Rigour: Act as the anchor for complex accounting matters across international jurisdictions, managing revenue recognition, purchase price accounting (PPA) for new acquisitions, and asset valuations.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Partner closely with FP&A and Commercial Finance, while translating complex financial compliance into clear, actionable data for the CFO and PE investors.
