This role is crucial for establishing the financial and administrative framework required for the new entity to operate independently. The ideal candidate will be a proactive, hands-on professional capable of navigating complex setup processes and ensuring compliance who also has a finance / accountancy background. While the role is largely remote, some initial on-site presence could be beneficial for fostering a strong working relationship. Fractional Financial Controller - Key Responsibilities: Entity Setup: Oversee and manage new company registraton. Handle VAT registration and corporation tax setup. Establish new bank accounts and finance facilities. Systems & Processes: Set up new payroll suppliers and related processes. Implement and configure Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) or similar ERP systems. Develop and manage asset lists, including understanding and transferring asset values from Group to NewCo. Business Administration: Renegotiate lease agreements for new facilities. Establish new agreements with energy suppliers and other essential service providers. Manage various business administration tasks, including contract review and setup, beyond pure numerical accounting. Financial & Group Structure: Work within a group structure, demonstrating experience with intercompany recharges and transfers. Assist in initial cash flow management, understanding that funding will be provided from Group and NewCo will be initially loss making. Collaboration & Support: Work in conjunction with external solicitors and accountants on legal and tax aspects. Collaborate with existing staff, including on TUPE arrangements. Fractional Financial Controller - Required Skills & Experience: Proven experience in setting up a new business entity or guiding a business through administration and into a new legal entity. Strong understanding of "front-end" financial and administrative setup processes (e.g., registrations, bank accounts, supplier contracts). Experience with Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) or Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Ability to handle a broad range of tasks, including both financial and business administration duties. Experience working within a group structure and managing intercompany transactions. Excellent communication and organisational skills. Ability to work independently and take initiative in a fast-paced environment. Comfortable with remote work arrangements. Fractional Financial Controller - Desirable Attributes: A proactive problem-solver who can identify and resolve challenges without extensive hand-holding. Experience with asset transfer and valuation between entities. Note: This role is focused on the initial setup phase. While ongoing management accounts and treasury functions will eventually be needed, this specific contract prioritises the foundational establishment of the NewCo and its separation from the Group entity.

Do you thrive on creating outstanding first impressions? Stop Stop Hang on . Yikes, that was close - we were about to create another boring job advert that reads like a shopping list produced by someone in the company who s utterly bored with their job, underpowered, or just has no idea how to communicate with you Sorry about that Right, let s start again. Forget everything you thought you knew about an accountancy firm. That stuffy old-fashioned way of working has no place over here. We do things differently - probably because we never intended to open a practice. We were successful property investors who were frustrated that the glossy we know best accounting firms actually knew very little about how accounting works in the property investment game. Honestly it was so frustrating - we tried to explain it, but they didn t get it. What we did next After some major blunders, enough was enough. Craig, our Founder and MD, hired his own in-house person, trained them well and suddenly things were working. But guess what? Other property investors friends started to ask us to do their accounts, and then their friends - everyone wanted our help. Before we knew it we had a ton of customers and had become the new go-to for bookkeeping, statutory annual accounts, compliance and tax for entrepreneurial property investors and developers. BTW - just in case you thought we got lucky, our Founder Craig knows his stuff - he s a qualified Chartered Accountant who trained with BDO (the 5th largest accounting firm in the world) before moving to London in 2006 to join Ernst & Young s real estate audit division, working with major clients including the developers of The Shard. He later led the UK accounts team at Drivers Jonas, overseeing the collection of several hundred million pounds annually across commercial properties nationwide. Following its acquisition by Deloitte and a subsequent role at Knight Frank, he left employment to focus full-time on growing his own property portfolio. That was 2017. Today, we are a busy practice with a great team, doing great things for our customers, and we want you to come and join us. Want to be part of a team that hires for personality and potential, and is obsessed with delivering an amazing customer experience? The Role at Glance: Client Services Assistant Reading - Onsite £24,000 - £30,000 DOE Plus Company Pension and Casual Dress Code Hours: Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm. Where we are today Since 2017 the practice has continued to grow organically - through word of mouth and referrals. We don t advertise, our website is basic, and we don t even have a LinkedIn page - not yet anyway. But that doesn t slow us down. Today, we are a growing, tech-forward, paperless practice delivering clear, property-by-property financial insight, not just compliance. We combine a dedicated in-house team with specialist property tax advisors to ensure our clients receive accurate information, proactive guidance, and real peace of mind.

What Makes Us Different: • We re not a traditional accounting firm. • We educate our clients, not just file their returns. • We focus on insight and clarity, not just compliance. • We use modern systems and paperless workflows. • We treat every team member as a valued contributor from day one. • We work hard, maintain professional standards, and genuinely enjoy what we do.
