Our client is a highly profitable private equity backed Technology group offering connectivity solutions to the SME market through its technology platform and network of reseller partners. Due to the recent demerger, the business is now looking for a Group Financial Controller to support the newly appointed Group CFO. The role will be broad ranging, covering responsibility for all external reporting, audit, tax, treasury and transaction services activity, including the management of a 20-person strong finance/transactions team. It represents an excellent development opportunity for the right candidate to work with a strong and commercially oriented finance team.

Specifically, the role is responsible for the external reporting of the group consolidated results and subsidiaries, supporting management reporting to the executive team, Board and shareholders, and managing the group audit process, including liaison with external auditors and reporting to the Audit Committee. In addition, you will look after Treasury activities including reporting to capital providers, covenant compliance, Group cash forecasting, pooling and inter-company funding. Some experience of managing tax compliance would be useful, as would management of financial systems selection.

The successful candidate will be an ACA qualified Accountant, or equivalent, with significant post qualification experience, gained either at Senior Manager/Director level in practice or, preferably, within a high-quality Group Finance function in a culturally similar environment/industry. Candidates must be able to demonstrate strong technical accounting skills and ideally have prior exposure to private equity and/or have taken a company through an IPO. Critical to success in the role will be ensuring the highest possible standards of reporting accuracy and balance sheet integrity across the group. The office is located in the North West but the opportunity is currently based remotely.

Please note that due to the expected volume of applications, we will only be able to respond to those candidates whose experience matches the requirements of our client. We are sorry, but if you have not heard from us within the next ten days, please assume you have been unsuccessful on this occasion.
