Financial Controller - #2091797

Your new company

We are partnering with a fast-growing and innovative SaaS business that has consistently delivered strong year-on-year growth over the past six years. As the company continues to scale, they are seeking a Financial Controller to work closely with the senior leadership team, driving financial efficiency, supporting strategic decisions, and underpinning continued growth.

This is a unique opportunity to take on a broad and commercially focused role, partnering directly with the C-suite and playing a key part in shaping the future of the business.

Your new role

You will take overall responsibility for the finance function across a group of entities, ensuring everything runs smoothly, consistently, and with strong financial control. This includes managing the full reporting cycle, overseeing month-end and year-end processes, and making sure all statutory reporting and regulatory requirements are met accurately and on time. Partnering with senior leadership, you'll support strategy through budgeting, forecasting, and scenario planning, providing clear insights to guide growth and investment decisions. You'll also strengthen financial controls, improve processes and systems, and oversee cash flow and working capital.
More broadly, you will act as a senior finance lead within the business, offering clarity and stability in a fast-moving environment. You will support and develop the finance team, while also ensuring financial information is clearly communicated and easily understood by non-finance stakeholders to support better decision-making across the organisation.

What you'll need to succeed

The ideal candidate will have experience managing finance across multiple entities, with strong knowledge of statutory reporting, year-end processes, and compliance. They will bring a commercial mindset, supporting high-growth businesses and producing forecasts, budgets, and financial models to guide performance. They will be hands-on, detail-oriented, and able to thrive in a fast-paced environment, with strong communication skills to work closely with senior leadership and finance teams. A professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) and exposure in senior finance roles within growing businesses are required.

What you'll get in return

Offering a £80,000 salary plus bonus and hybrid working, this is a great opportunity to join a high-growth SaaS business at a key stage of its journey.
You'll work closely with an ambitious leadership team, helping shape financial strategy and support ongoing expansion. This is a broad, high-impact role with real ownership, giving you strong visibility and the chance to make a meaningful contribution as the business continues to scale.
