Job description

Financial Controller | London-Based (Predominantly Remote) | Up to £95,000 + Bonus + Share Options + Private Medical

Robert Half is exclusively partnering with a fast-growing financial services business to appoint a Financial Controller. This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong accountant looking to step into a broad and high-impact leadership role within a dynamic environment.

We are particularly interested in candidates who are Big 4 or Top 10 trained, with approximately 3-4+ years of post-qualified industry experience. Financial services experience would be advantageous, but we are open to candidates from other sectors with a strong technical accounting background.

The role is predominantly remote; however, applicants must be based in London or the surrounding areas.

Package

  • Up to £95,000 base salary (depending on experience)
  • Discretionary bonus
  • Share options
  • Private medical cover
  • Flexible, predominantly remote working

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, develop and mentor a finance team.
  • Provide technical accounting guidance, including the preparation of accounting papers and technical assessments.
  • Support strategic finance initiatives, including new entity set-up, financial modelling and commercial analysis.
  • Review monthly management accounts and oversee complex journal entries.
  • Lead the half-year reporting process.
  • Maintain and update technical accounting disclosures within financial reports.
  • Take ownership of year-end financial reporting, including:
  • UK statutory accounts
  • US reporting requirements
  • Reporting across three legal entities
  • Consolidate the US subsidiary into the UK group accounts.
  • Review VAT and corporate tax submissions.
  • Manage the R&D tax relief process and liaise with HMRC where required.
  • Present financial information and key findings to the Audit Committee and Board.

Candidate Profile

  • Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent).
  • Big 4 or Top 10 training highly desirable.
  • Strong technical accounting and group consolidation experience.
  • Approximately 3-4+ years of post-qualified industry experience.
  • Financial services experience preferred but not essential.
  • Proven people management and leadership capability.
  • Collaborative and engaging management style, with the ability to motivate, develop and support a high-performing team.

This role would suit an ambitious finance professional who enjoys combining technical accounting expertise with team leadership and strategic business partnering.

Robert Half Ltd acts as an employment business for temporary positions and an employment agency for permanent positions. Robert Half is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. Suitable candidates with equivalent qualifications and more or less experience can apply. Rates of pay and salary ranges are dependent upon your experience, qualifications and training.
