🚀 Financial Controller | PE-Backed Consulting Firm | London (Hybrid)
Equifind is partnering with a fast-growing, PE-backed consulting business on a key hire as they scale toward tripling in size over the next 3–5 years.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a hands-on Financial Controller to take real ownership of the finance function — working closely with the CFO and playing a central role in the company's next chapter of growth.
📌 The Role
You'll be responsible for the full financial operations of the business — from month-end close and multi-entity consolidation to treasury management and investor reporting. As the business grows internationally, you'll be the person keeping the financial engine running accurately and efficiently.
Key responsibilities include:
✅ Financial Management & Reporting
• Leading month-end and year-end close processes
• Preparing management accounts with CFO-level commentary
• Managing multi-entity reporting across UK and US subsidiaries
• Overseeing tax compliance (VAT, payroll, US state and income taxes)
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and R&D tax credit submissions
✅ Controls & Compliance
• Strengthening internal financial controls and procedures
• Managing company secretarial requirements for UK and US entities
• Producing lender/investor reporting packs in line with PE governance requirements
✅ Cashflow & Treasury
• Maintaining rolling 13-week cashflow forecasts
• Managing multi-currency accounts (GBP, USD, EUR) and FX risk
• Optimising cash returns while preserving liquidity buffers
✅ Business Partnering
• Partnering with budget holders and cross-functional teams
• Supporting board and investor reporting and presentations
• Identifying and driving process improvements across financial systems
👤 About You
• Qualified accountant ideally from an audit background
• Solid grounding in management accounting, multi-jurisdictional consolidation, and financial controls
• Strong knowledge of UK accounting standards
• Comfortable in Excel and modern accounting systems
• Experience in a SaaS, subscription, or recurring-revenue business is a strong advantage
• Prior exposure to a PE-backed environment and investor/lender reporting is a plus
