Financial Controller

Financial Controller (Future Finance Director)

Central London | £70,000 - £85,000 + Benefits

Looking for a role where you'll genuinely help shape a growing business?

Perhaps you're already a Financial Controller.

Or maybe you're a commercially minded Finance Manager who's ready for the next step.

Either way...

If you're looking for genuine influence, exposure to senior leadership and the opportunity to grow into a Finance Director role, we'd love to hear from you.

About the opportunity

We're partnering with a successful, privately-owned consultancy business that's entering an exciting new chapter.

Following recent investment and organisational change, the leadership team has ambitious growth plans and is looking for a commercially-minded finance professional to become a key member of that journey.

This isn't simply about producing management accounts.

You'll work alongside an experienced Fractional CFO, partnering directly with the owners and senior leadership team, helping them make better commercial decisions whilst building a finance function capable of supporting future growth.

Over time, the intention is for the successful candidate to develop into the company's Finance Director.

What you'll be doing

\n
• Producing monthly management accounts and commercial reporting
\n
• Budgeting, forecasting and cashflow management
\n
• Supporting strategic business decisions through financial analysis
\n
• Improving systems, reporting and financial controls
\n
• Working closely with operational stakeholders across the business
\n
• Coaching and developing a small finance team
\n
• Helping build a finance function that can scale alongside the business
\n

We'd particularly like to hear from people who have experience within:

\n
• Consultancy
\n
• Recruitment
\n
• Marketing or creative agencies
\n
• Professional services
\n
• Project-led businesses
\n
• Other growing SMEs where finance partners closely with operational teams
\n

We're far more interested in your commercial mindset, ambition and ability to build relationships than finding someone who's done this in exactly the same industry.

About you

You'll probably be:

\n
• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
\n
• Commercially curious
\n
• Comfortable working both strategically and hands-on
\n
• Someone who enjoys improving systems and processes
\n
• Confident building relationships with non-finance stakeholders
\n
• Ambitious enough to want broader responsibility over the coming years
\n

If you're currently reporting into a CFO or Finance Director and looking for the opportunity to become the senior finance leader within a growing business, we'd particularly like to hear from you.
