This role offers a broad remit across FP&A, financial control, group reporting, tax, audit, systems improvement and team management. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping processes, driving commercial insight and helping build a best-in-class finance function as the business continues to scale internationally.
Key Responsibilities:

We're keen to speak with qualified accountants (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) who combine strong technical accounting foundations with a commercial mindset.
You’ll likely have:
- Experience within a SaaS, technology or high-growth environment.
- Strong FP&A and financial modelling capability.
- Exposure to group consolidations and international entities.
- Experience managing audits and statutory reporting.
- A proactive approach to improving systems, processes and controls.
- The confidence to partner with senior stakeholders and challenge constructively.
Why Apply?
