Job Description
We're partnering with a specialist commercial firm with an outstanding reputation in commercial debt recovery and dispute resolution. They're seeking a Financial Controller with strong commercial instincts — someone who can do more than just “run the numbers.” This person will sit at the leadership table, actively contributing to business growth, margin improvement, and commercial decision-making.
This is a full-time, office-based role, ideal for a qualified finance professional looking to take ownership of the finance function and become a true business partner to the senior leadership team.
The Financial Controller Opportunity:
This is a commercially impactful role, reporting directly to the CEO, and designed for someone who thrives in fast-paced, growing organisations.

* Lead all core financial functions: management reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and compliance
* Act as a strategic partner to the leadership team, advising on growth strategy and performance
* Provide actionable commercial insights to improve client profitability and cost efficiency
* Support business planning, pricing strategy, and service line performance monitoring
* Oversee all financial reporting, SRA compliance, and internal controls
* Identify opportunities for growth, cost optimisation, and operational improvement
* Liaise with external accountants, auditors, and stakeholders
* Manage VAT, WIP, billing, and statutory reporting
* Contribute to shaping a scalable, data-driven finance function aligned with future expansion
Financial Controller Background:
* Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
* Proven ability to provide commercial analysis and strategic input, not just financial oversight
* Experience with international markets
* Highly proactive and confident working with senior stakeholders
* A growth mindset — someone who’s comfortable stepping outside pure finance to help move the business forward
* Excellent attention to detail with the ability to see the bigger picture
* Must be technologically confident and open to adopting new systems and digital tools to improve efficiency and reporting
* Previous experience with Xero & Salesforce an advantage
What’s on Offer For The Financial Controller:
* Competitive salary with annual bonus
* High visibility role with a direct impact on business strategy and growth
* Opportunity to become a trusted business partner to the CEO
