Group Financial Controller

The Company

We are currently working in partnership with a high-growth, acquisitive professional services consultancy with a strong UK presence and an ambitious strategy for continued expansion. Following a number of recent strategic acquisitions, the business is focused on integrating newly acquired entities, strengthening its group finance infrastructure, and streamlining processes across multiple UK offices. Operating in a collaborative, fast-paced, and commercially focused environment, the company is now seeking a high-calibre Group Financial Controller to support the CFO and senior leadership team through the next phase of growth, integration, and operational improvement.

The Role

This is a pivotal role in ensuring the business has the financial discipline, controls, reporting, and insight required to scale effectively. Working closely with the CFO, the Group Financial Controller will take ownership of the group financial control environment, ensuring robust policies, procedures, systems, and internal controls are embedded across the organisation. The role will include responsibility for monthly, quarterly, and annual group reporting, cash flow forecasting, budgeting, working capital management, and the production of high-quality financial information to support decision-making. A key focus will be supporting the integration of acquired businesses into the group finance framework, improving consistency, accuracy, and efficiency across all reporting lines. The successful candidate will also lead the year-end statutory audit process, manage tax and VAT compliance, and provide clear financial insight to the CFO, CEO, and regional leadership teams to help drive performance across the business.

The Person

The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant, ACA, ACCA or CIMA, with proven experience in a senior financial control role. You will bring strong technical accounting capability, sound commercial judgement, and the ability to operate effectively in a growing, acquisitive business.

You will have experience of group reporting, audit, cash management, budgeting, forecasting, and process improvement, ideally with exposure to integration activity following M & A. Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to build credibility with both finance and non-finance stakeholders will be essential. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on, ambitious, and commercially minded finance professional to play a key role in shaping the financial infrastructure of a growing consultancy during an important period of change and development.
