Job Description
Financial Controller - High-Growth Start-Up
Hertfordshire
Circa £80,000 + 20% Bonus + 6% Pension + 25 Days Holiday (Plus Bank Holidays)
A Rare Opportunity to Shape a Business from the Ground Up
Vitae Financial Recruitment are partnering exclusively with a fast-growing holiday and leisure business to recruit a Financial Controller who will thrive in a start-up environment and wants unrivalled exposure to executive-level decision-making.
Why This Role Stands Out
Make a tangible impact in a start-up setting, helping to shape processes, culture, and success alongside industry leaders.
Join a well-funded, fast-growing leisure business at an exciting stage of its journey.
Gain unmatched visibility and influence through direct collaboration with the executive team.
Take on a truly varied remit, working alongside an inspirational CFO-overseeing reporting, statutory accounts, tax, cashflow, and acquisition integration, while contributing commercially to strategic decisions. No two days are the same: from board packs to business partnering, you'll have broad exposure across a dynamic, scaling company.
What You'll Do
- Lead the UK-based outsourced finance function, ensuring timely processing of payroll, invoices, VAT, PAYE, and Corporation Tax compliance
- Oversee production and review of management accounts, reporting, and balance sheet reconciliations
- Prepare cashflow forecasts, investor and bank reporting, and board packs
- Support financial appraisal and integration of acquisitions, providing commercial insight to strategic decisions
- Partner with management and resort-based teams to guide budgeting, forecasting, and compliance
Who You Are
- Qualified accountant (ACA, CIMA, ACCA) with 3+ years post-qualified experience (2+ in industry)
- Experienced in statutory accounts, tax compliance, treasury, and management reporting
- Commercially minded, organised, independent, and an excellent communicator
- Comfortable with Excel, Microsoft Office, and wider financial/IT systems
Nice to Have
- Financial modelling, M&A experience, post-deal integration
- Management of banking relationships and outsourced finance teams
- Group structures, multi-site environments, or experience with non-finance stakeholders
Location & Flexibility
- Hertfordshire office (hybrid, 3-4 days per week)
- Occasional UK travel required; full clean driving licence and access to own car
Why Join
- Direct influence on strategy and operations at a start-up on a rapid growth trajectory
- Varied, hands-on role with significant scope for personal and professional development
- Collaborative, supportive culture where creativity and ideas are valued
- Competitive reward package: salary, bonus, pension, holidays, and family perks
