Full job description

Reporting directly to the Finance Director, the Group Financial Controller is a critical leadership position at the heart of our finance function. You will own the end-to-end financial control environment across our UK and US entities, from the month-end close and group consolidation through to statutory accounts, tax compliance, treasury management and system optimisation. You will also act as a key commercial partner to the FP&A Manager and senior leadership team, providing insight-driven reporting and proactive challenge on variances, risk and process improvement.

This is a hands-on role that combines technical accounting depth with a continuous improvement mindset.

The right candidate will bring:

A strong command of UK GAAP / IFRS, with experience in a multi-entity, multi-currency environment

Comfort operating in a marketplace, SaaS or fintech context where complex fund flows, merchant payouts and consumer refunds are the norm

A desire to build and optimise: from internal controls to systems infrastructure to support a ~£30m revenue business scaling to the next level

Key Responsibilities

1. Financial Control & Reporting

Month-End Close

Own the full month-end close process for both UK and US entities, delivering a hard close within 4-5 working days

Prepare a detailed monthly commentary pack with key observations, MoM variance analysis and comparisons against budget for the Finance Director, C-Suite and Board

Accounts Payable (AP)

Oversight of all AP matters, managing payment authorisations and overseeing the full PO-to-expense workflow and liaise across departments to ensure recoverability

Manage a weekly PO-to-expense report showing outstanding commitments, accruals, remaining PO headroom and variances against budget lines

Accounts Receivable (AR)

Oversee the AR ledger for both entities; produce bi-weekly US revenue calculations and ensure bad debt provisions are adequate and regularly reviewed

Act as the primary decision-maker on AR matters, managing debtor balances, debtor days and recovery of significant outstanding balances, escalating where appropriate

Payroll Accounting

Manage payroll reconciliations and reporting, pensions and benefits journals; prepare full payroll reconciliations from HR system compensation through to net pay in bank for both UK and US

Allocate payroll costs to the correct expense lines and departments, and report actuals against budget by staff member and category

Group Consolidation

Prepare monthly consolidated group accounts, managing all intercompany eliminations, cross-charges and foreign currency (GBP/USD) translations

Maintain consolidated balance sheet reconciliations, ensuring every line item is verified monthly and movements are clearly explained

Marketplace & Funds Flow Accounting

Oversee the complex B2B2C fund flow lifecycle: ensuring merchant payouts, customer refunds and subscription fees reconcile perfectly with the internal ledger and Looker

Investigate and challenge discrepancies, manage the refund process and proactively suggest process improvements to reduce error and financial risk

Statutory Accounts & External Audit

Lead year-end statutory accounts preparation for the Group; reconcile the full ETB from Xero and management accounts TB through to statutory format

Manage the relationship with external auditors, acting as primary contact and ensuring all deliverables are met on time

Budgeting and Forecasting

Strong ability to turn Month-end financials into actuals vs budget across function departments and layer these actuals into rolling forecasts

2. Tax & Compliance

Prepare, reconcile and file the Group VAT return with HMRC

Prepare, reconcile and file the tax return across multiple US states

Oversee annual Corporation Tax calculations and disclosures; manage R&D tax credit claims in coordination with specialist advisors

Track US Sales Tax nexus obligations and coordinate with US-based tax advisors on Federal and State filings

Maintain and update the Transfer Pricing agreement between the UK and US entities; ensure journals are posted correctly and internal staff allocation aligns with expectations

3. Process, Systems & Internal Controls

Design and implement robust financial controls to minimise errors in a high-volume marketplace environment — including review and amendment of the refund authorisation policy

Act as finance systems super-user (currently Xero); review the GL structure and chart of accounts to ensure alignment with the P&L and budgeting requirements

Assess the capability of existing finance systems given company growth projections, recommend system changes/improvements and own the migration projects to ensure a 3-5+ year vision for the companies growth

Identify and automate manual workflows to improve efficiency and scalability ahead of continued revenue growth

4. Banking, Treasury & FX

Manage multi-currency bank accounts (GBP and USD), overseeing group cash management and the deployment of surplus funds into appropriate savings or short-term investment vehicles, review of existing banking and treasury relationships and recommend changes as required to support growth plans

Manage FX risk through RBS or equivalent broker relationships; recommend and execute hedging strategies where appropriate

Prepare covenant reporting and ensure the Group maintains compliance with any banking or financing obligations

5. Team Management & Cross-Functional Leadership

Directly manage and mentor the Financial Controller, Finance Assistant & Credit Controller, overseeing AP/AR and general ledger entries, and continuously upskilling the team to take on greater responsibility

Partner with the FP&A Manager to provide clear variance commentary (budget vs. actuals) that supports business decision-making

Manage the Credit Controller and debt/dunning team to monitor bad debt provisions and problem-solve recoverability on larger outstanding balances

Liaise confidently with external advisors (auditors, tax consultants, legal) and present financial information clearly to senior stakeholders and the Board

Success after 6 months looks like:

Month-end close is consistently hitting 5-day mark (including consolidation, inter-co eliminations, cross-charges etc) with zero restatements and complementary MI for SLT and Board

A formal recommendation of the finance systems stack (Xero, RBS, CS Admin, Looker etc) has been delivered, with business case – implementation is either finish or materially underway

At least 2-3 manual workflows have been automated and/or significantly streamlined

The chart of accounts & GL have been fully restructured to reflect the P&L and budget requirements

Year-end statutory accounts and audit have been filed on time with no material adjustments
