• Be part of an organisation committed to responsible business practices, continuous process improvement, and creating an inclusive culture where every voice is heard.

What you'll do:

As Group Financial Controller, you will take ownership of the end-to-end financial management processes for the entire organisation. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include overseeing consolidated reporting cycles, developing effective internal controls, collaborating with various departments to align financial strategies with broader business goals, managing audits with professionalism, monitoring cash flows diligently, supporting corporate transactions when required, mentoring your team towards shared success, driving process improvements for greater efficiency, and ensuring compliance with all statutory requirements. Success in this role will come from your ability to balance technical expertise with strong interpersonal skills—enabling you to build trusted relationships across the business while delivering reliable results that support long-term organisational objectives.

• Oversee the preparation of consolidated group financial statements in accordance with relevant accounting standards and regulatory requirements, ensuring accuracy and timeliness at all times.
• Develop, implement, and maintain robust internal controls and financial policies to safeguard company assets while promoting best practices throughout the finance function.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to provide strategic financial guidance that supports business objectives and drives sustainable growth across all divisions.
• Lead the annual budgeting process, including forecasting, variance analysis, and regular performance reviews to ensure targets are met and resources are optimally allocated.
• Manage statutory audits by liaising with external auditors, preparing required documentation, and addressing audit findings in a constructive manner.
• Monitor cash flow positions, manage working capital efficiently, and oversee treasury functions to ensure liquidity needs are met without compromising risk management protocols.
• Support mergers, acquisitions, or other corporate transactions by conducting due diligence activities and integrating new entities into group reporting structures as needed.
• Mentor and develop finance team members by providing clear direction, training opportunities, and regular feedback to foster both technical skills and interpersonal growth.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives within the finance department by identifying areas for process enhancement and implementing solutions that increase efficiency while maintaining high standards of accuracy.
• Ensure full compliance with local tax regulations, statutory filings, and other legal obligations relevant to group operations.

What you bring:

The ideal candidate for the Group Financial Controller position will bring extensive experience managing complex group accounts within sizeable organisations. Your background should include hands-on involvement in consolidating multi-entity reports under international standards as well as designing robust internal control systems. You will have demonstrated your ability to guide teams through challenging budgeting cycles while communicating effectively with both finance professionals and wider business stakeholders. Experience handling statutory audits independently is essential; so too is familiarity with cash flow management principles relevant to large-scale operations. Exposure to M&A activities—particularly due diligence—is highly regarded. Above all else, your approach should reflect a commitment to nurturing others’ potential through mentorship while always prioritising collaboration over competition.

• Demonstrated experience in group-level financial control or similar roles within complex organisations where multi-entity consolidation was required over several reporting periods.
• Professional qualification such as ACCA, CIMA or equivalent is highly desirable along with a thorough understanding of international accounting standards (IFRS/MFRS).
• Proven track record of developing effective internal controls frameworks that promote transparency while safeguarding company assets against risk.
• Strong background in budgeting processes including forecasting techniques, variance analysis methodologies, and resource allocation strategies tailored for diverse business units.
• Excellent communication skills enabling you to present complex financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders at all levels of seniority.
• Experience managing statutory audits from start to finish—including preparation of schedules/documentation—and resolving audit queries constructively.
• Solid grasp of cash flow management principles coupled with hands-on exposure to treasury operations within large organisations or groups.
• Ability to support M&A activity through due diligence workstreams as well as post-acquisition integration into existing reporting structures.
• Commitment to mentoring junior staff members by providing structured training opportunities alongside regular feedback sessions focused on both technical development and interpersonal growth.
• A collaborative mindset that values teamwork above individual achievement—demonstrating empathy when working with colleagues from different backgrounds or disciplines.
