Financial Controller

Company Overview

We are working with an innovative, Ireland-headquartered organisation operating in a highly regulated and rapidly evolving sector, delivering impactful solutions on an international scale.

With strong year-on-year growth and expanding operations across multiple geographies, the business is entering a pivotal phase of scaling. The organisation combines a purpose-driven mission with ambitious commercial objectives, underpinned by a collaborative and high-performing leadership team.

As part of this growth journey, there is now an opportunity to appoint an experienced Financial Controller to play a key role in shaping the finance function and supporting strategic expansion.

The Role

• Reporting directly to the senior leadership team, the Financial Controller will take full ownership of the day-to-day financial operations across multiple entities, while also driving the development of scalable processes and systems.
• This is a hands-on, high-impact position suited to someone who thrives in a growing environment, combining strong technical accounting expertise with the ability to contribute at a strategic level.

Key responsibilities will include

• Managing month-end and year-end close processes, overseeing outsourced finance providers, and ensuring robust financial controls and compliance frameworks are in place.
• Leading budgeting, forecasting and cash flow management, while partnering closely with senior stakeholders to provide meaningful financial insights and support decision-making.
• Preparation of board-level reporting, KPI analysis, and supporting key commercial initiatives.
• There will also be a strong focus on driving process and systems improvements to enable efficient scaling of the business.

The Ideal Candidate

• The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with proven experience operating at Financial Controller or senior finance level within a scaling or high-growth environment.
• They will bring a strong understanding of financial controls, governance, and process design, along with experience managing or working alongside outsourced finance functions or shared service providers.
• A background in a regulated or complex industry environment would be advantageous.
• Crucially, the individual will be comfortable operating in a lean structure, balancing hands-on delivery with strategic input. They will demonstrate strong technical capability, high levels of commercial awareness, and a track record of leveraging systems and technology to drive efficiency and scalability.
• Strong stakeholder management skills are essential, along with the ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-finance audiences. The successful candidate will be proactive, adaptable, and process-driven, with a continuous improvement mindset and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving business.
