Portfolio Financial Controller | Acquisitive Group | London
I'm retained on an exciting project with an acquisitive group, bringing together a portfolio of established businesses under a group structure. Each acquired business retains its own identity and leadership. As the platform grows, they're hiring a Portfolio Financial Controller to sit between group finance and operating company finance leaders, raising the quality and pace of reporting across the business.
You'll oversee a small portfolio of operating companies and grow into a wider multi-entity mandate as the platform scales. This is a role split between technical finance and influential analysis; you'll provide accurate numbers, and have the ability to change how operating company finance leaders work, without managing them directly.
