A leading family office is looking to bring in an experienced Financial Controller to support the CFO on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

This will be a hands-on and broad role , covering all aspects of the finance function within a boutique but highly sophisticated and complex investment structure.

You’ll work closely with the CFO and take ownership across areas including:

1. Managing the relationship and interaction with the auditors
2. Financial statements and technical accounting matters
3. Financial control, reporting and day-to-day accounting
4. Oversight of the various entities and structures
5. Supporting the CFO across the wider finance agenda
6. Picking up the variety of issues that naturally come with working in a small, entrepreneurial finance team

There is lots to do , so it will suit someone who enjoys being busy, taking ownership and getting involved rather than operating within a narrowly defined remit.

It’s also a brilliant culture — collaborative, down-to-earth and somewhere people genuinely enjoy working. Three days a week in the office, team lunches and a really good working environment.

For an experienced Financial Controller who likes the breadth of a family office environment and is open to a 12-month contract, there is a lot to like about this opportunity and also there is a genuine chance this role could go permanent at the end.
