Are you a qualified accountant who wants more than a month-end close?

Revenue has grown 50% in two years. There’s an acquisition already in progress. The finance function is evolving quickly and needs someone who wants to be part of shaping it - not just maintaining it.

You’ll work closely with a Private Equity-experienced Finance Director who is committed to your professional growth. From day one, you’ll gain exposure to board-level discussions, investor reporting, and M&A activities.

• Leading budgeting, forecasting, and long-term financial planning processes
• Supporting ongoing M&A activity, including due diligence and post-acquisition integration
• Driving improvements across financial controls, systems, and reporting, with a focus on AI and automation
• Managing, mentoring, and developing a high-performing finance team of three

Suitable Candidate for the Financial Controller vacancy:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
• Technically strong - comfortable with UK GAAP (FRS 102) and management reporting
• Commercially minded and hands-on - someone who engages with the business, not just the numbers
• Ambitious, proactive and ready to operate in a fast-moving environment
• PE-backed or high-growth experience is a bonus, not a requirement

• Hybrid working model with 1 day per week from home
• Genuine exposure to Private Equity and M&A activity
