Are you a strategic yet hands-on finance leader ready to own the numbers and drive transformation? An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Group Financial Controller to join a high-growth, multi-entity business headquartered in Watford. This is a key leadership role with full responsibility for group financial reporting, controls, tax strategy, forecasting, and performance optimisation.
The role is fully office-based, and best suited to someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment where sleeves are rolled up and impact is immediate.
Key Responsibilities:
* Deliver accurate monthly, quarterly, and annual consolidated financial statements (UK GAAP)
* Lead all aspects of financial control, reconciliations, and external audit coordination
* Manage group tax compliance, planning, and transfer pricing across jurisdictions
* Oversee budgeting and forecasting, producing insightful financial models and reports
* Drive performance management across entities, identifying risks and opportunities
* Lead group cash flow forecasting and support capital planning initiatives
* Champion finance process improvements and ERP system optimisation
* Build and lead a high-performing international finance team
About You:
* ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified with 5+ years in a senior finance role
* Strong technical grounding in UK GAAP with experience in tax and transfer pricing
* Proven track record in financial leadership, process improvement, and ERP projects
* Confident in business partnering with executives and leading cross-border teams
* Commercially sharp, detail-oriented, and capable of delivering under pressure
* Hands-on, proactive, and thrives on taking ownership and fixing what's broken
Please note: This is not a purely strategic oversight role. If you’re looking to roll up your sleeves, take control, and lead from the front - this is the job for you.
