Group Financial Controller

Group Financial Controller | Highly Confidential Appointment

South West London | Hybrid – 3 days office

£100,000 + Car allowance + Excellent Benefits

Credible longer-term pathway towards Group FD.

I’m currently working on an extremely confidential Group Financial Controller appointment for a well-established, International group.

This is a significant Group-level finance position working closely with a highly experienced senior leadership team.

I’m looking specifically for a strong ACA who trained in practice and has already successfully moved into industry, with excellent hands‑on Group consolidation experience.

This is not a first move from practice opportunity.

The successful candidate will take ownership of the monthly Group consolidation process across a complex, multi‑entity international structure, alongside Group reporting, statutory accounts, audit, financial control and Head Office finance.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Ownership of the monthly Group consolidation process , including intercompany, investment and dividend reconciliations
• Developing Group reporting, analysis and commentary
• Supporting the preparation of consolidated statutory accounts
• Leading Head Office audit requirements and coordinating elements of the wider Group audit
• Managing reporting and statutory information across multiple international entities
• Head Office budgeting, cash, treasury and financial control
• Working closely with divisional Finance Directors and Financial Controllers
• Managing and developing a junior member of the finance team
• Improving processes, controls and reporting across the Group

The profile is important.

You will ideally be:

• ACA qualified , with a strong audit/practice foundation
• Already established within an industry finance role following practice
• Technically strong, particularly around Group consolidations and statutory reporting
• Experienced within a multi‑entity and ideally international Group environment
• Comfortable owning and coordinating complex audit processes
• Hands‑on and detail‑oriented while still capable of operating at Group leadership level
• Commercial, pragmatic and confident dealing with senior stakeholders
• Someone who enjoys improving reporting, processes and controls rather than simply maintaining them

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has built strong technical foundations and now wants a role with genuine ownership, visibility and longer‑term progression within a substantial international organisation.

The position is based in South West London with a minimum of three days per week in the office.

Given the confidential nature of the appointment, further information will only be shared with suitable candidates following an initial conversation and having signed an NDA.
