We’re working with a private equity-backed financial services organisation with a turnover of c.£60m, operating as part of a wider group.

The business manages 8 entities and 5 trading brands, with a strong growth trajectory and continued investment across systems, people, and commercial capability.

This is a highly collaborative environment where finance plays a central role in driving business performance, not just reporting on it.

The Role

This is not a traditional Financial Controller role.

We’re looking for a commercially focused Group Financial Controller who will operate as a true business partner to senior leadership, combining financial control with cashflow ownership, stakeholder engagement, and performance insight.

You’ll be at the heart of decision-making providing challenge, guidance, and clarity across the business, ensuring finance is driving outcomes, not just reporting numbers.

Key Responsibilities

  * Act as a trusted Finance Business Partner to senior stakeholders across multiple business units (large part of role)

  * Take ownership of cashflow management and forecasting, ensuring strong visibility and control across the group

  * Ownership of forecasting across multiple business trading brands and delivery to senior stakeholders (F,P&A)

  * Oversight of the delivery of the monthly management accounts with clear, actionable insight

  * Provide commercial challenge and support, influencing strategic and operational decisions

  * Translate financial data into meaningful insights for non-finance stakeholders

  * Identify risks and opportunities, driving proactive decision making

  * Maintain robust financial controls, governance, and reporting standards

  * Drive continuous improvement across processes, systems, and reporting

  * Lead, mentor, and develop a small finance team

About You

  * Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)

  * Proven experience in a commercial finance / business partnering role (not just pure reporting)

  * Strong experience around cashflow, forecasting, and working capital management

  * Ability to influence and engage with stakeholders across all levels

  * Confident communicator able to challenge and support in equal measure

  * Background within financial services or a regulated environment is advantageous
