About You

We are looking for someone who combines strong technical accounting capability with commercial and strategic thinking.

You will be comfortable taking full ownership of the finance function and operating in an environment where you need to move between detailed financial work and senior-level decision support.

You will ideally have:

• Significant experience in a Financial Controller, Head of Finance or similar senior finance role.

• A recognised professional accounting qualification such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent.

• Strong technical accounting and financial-control experience.

• Experience managing month-end, consolidation and management reporting across multiple entities.

• Experience operating in an international and multi-currency environment.

• Strong understanding of revenue recognition, cash-flow management, working capital and financial controls.

• Experience overseeing payroll and working with external payroll providers.

• Practical knowledge of corporate tax and VAT, with the judgement to recognise when specialist external advice is required.

• Experience managing external accountants, auditors and tax advisers.

• Strong budgeting, forecasting and financial-modelling capabilities.

• Confidence partnering with senior leadership and translating financial information into clear commercial recommendations.

• A strong process-improvement mindset and an interest in using systems and automation to create an efficient finance function.

Experience within B2B technology, SaaS, gaming, gambling or another regulated international industry would be highly advantageous.

What Success Looks Like

The successful candidate will establish a finance function that gives the business confidence in both its numbers and its financial decision-making.

You will ensure that:

• Leadership has timely, accurate and meaningful financial information.

• Month-end and Group reporting are controlled, efficient and reliable.

• Cash flow and working capital are actively managed.

• Revenue, payroll, tax and regulatory financial obligations are appropriately controlled.

• Departmental expenditure and budgets are clearly understood and accountable.

• External advisers are used effectively without creating unnecessary dependency.

• Finance processes become increasingly automated and scalable.

• The business has a clear financial plan to support its growth.

Most importantly, you will be expected to own Finance end-to-end — personally getting into the detail when required while providing the strategic financial leadership the business needs as it grows.
