About Source Certain Limited

Source Certain Limited (SCL) is a fast-growing UK technology company providing provenance and traceability solutions across global supply chains. Operating through a main UK entity and two wholly-owned subsidiaries – one in the United States and one in Australia – SCL is at an exciting stage of its development, scaling its commercial operations while building the internal infrastructure to support sustained growth.

The UK entity is the commercial and operational hub of the group, with the majority of revenue, costs, and headcount sitting here. The subsidiaries are operational but smaller in scale, with activity that includes intercompany cross-charges. The business works across multiple time zones and with a broad range of external stakeholders including clients, auditors, banks, insurers, and legal advisers.

The Role

This is a broad and hands-on financial controller position, created to give SCL the day-to-day financial management and control it needs as it scales. The role sits at the heart of the business and will work closely with both the CEO and the Fractional CFO, providing accurate financial information, keeping the books in excellent order across all three group entities, and rolling up its sleeves on whatever operational matters need attention.

The right person will be comfortable being the primary finance resource in the business – organised, adaptable, and happy to move between a month-end close and sorting out an insurance renewal in the same morning. This is a genuine opportunity to shape how finance runs at SCL and to grow with the company.

Key Responsibilities

Bookkeeping & Financial Control

Ownership of day-to-day bookkeeping across SCL (UK), and its US and Australian subsidiaries, using Xero
Maintaining accurate and up-to-date records of all income, expenditure, assets, and liabilities across the group
Management of accounts payable and receivable, including supplier payments and client invoicing
Monthly bank reconciliations for all entities and currencies
Preparation of timely monthly consolidated management accounts for review by the CFO and CEO
Supporting the preparation of statutory accounts and liaising with external auditors

Intercompany & Multi-Entity Accounting

Managing intercompany cross-charges between SCL UK and its subsidiaries, ensuring these are correctly documented, consistently applied, and appropriately reflected in each entity's accounts
Experience of intercompany (ICO) accounting, including elimination entries and transfer pricing principles, is strongly advantageous
Maintaining a clear audit trail across group entities and ensuring consistency of accounting policies

Reporting & Analytics

Producing regular management information including P&L, cash flow, and balance sheet reporting
Supporting the CFO on financial modelling, forecasting, and scenario analysis as required
Preparing board-level financial summaries and packs in a clear, accessible format
Tracking key financial KPIs and flagging variances or risks to the CEO and CFO promptly

Tax, Compliance & Statutory Obligations

Supporting Tax and VAT return preparation and filing (UK) and liaising with local advisers for US and Australian compliance obligations
Assisting with year-end close, statutory accounts preparation, and audit management
Monitoring filing deadlines across all three entities and ensuring the group remains compliant
Liaising with HMRC, Companies House, and equivalent overseas bodies as required

Operations & General Finance Support

Handling a wide range of operational finance tasks as directed by the CEO and CFO – this is a flexible, generalist role in a start-up environment
Managing commercial insurance policies including annual requotes, renewals, and any mid-year changes
Administering banking relationships and day-to-day account management across the group
Supporting procurement, contract management, and supplier relationship administration
Assisting with HR-adjacent financial processes including payroll coordination (via external payroll provider) and expense management
Contributing to process improvement as the company grows, including the development of finance policies and procedures

About You

Essential

Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
Minimum two years’ post-qualification experience in a similar hands-on financial controller or senior finance role
Proven experience working with Xero as the primary accounting platform
Strong working knowledge of multi-entity group accounting, including intercompany transactions and eliminations
Comfortable working independently and managing your own priorities in a fast-moving environment
Excellent attention to detail with a track record of producing accurate, high-quality financial information
Strong communication skills – able to present financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues and senior stakeholders
UK-based and able to travel to London or Cambridge for meetings when required

Desirable

Experience in a start-up, scale-up, or founder-led business where breadth and flexibility are valued
Familiarity with multi-currency accounting and the practical challenges of managing overseas subsidiaries (particularly US and Australia)
Understanding of FRS 102 (UK GAAP) and awareness of IFRS
Experience managing commercial insurance renewals or other operational finance processes
Comfort with financial modelling in Excel, Claude and supporting CFO-level analysis
This role may suit a returner to finance who brings strong prior experience and is looking for a flexible, substantive role with real scope

What We Offer

A salary of £50,000 – £60,000 FTE, depending on experience
Flexible working considered
Fully home-based role with occasional travel to London and Cambridge
A broad, genuinely varied role with real responsibility from day one
Direct access to and collaboration with the CEO and Fractional CFO
The opportunity to build and shape the finance function of a growing technology business
A supportive, entrepreneurial team that values pragmatism, initiative, and good humour
