Up to £110,000 plus excellent bonus and benefits Hybrid Working available (4 days in the office, 1 day WFH) Reports to: CFO (SMF2) Due to exciting business growth, our client, a leading international bank based in the heart of central London, is seeking a fully qualified Deputy Head of Financial Control . This is a pivotal leadership role for a "hands-on" controller who thrives on technical accuracy and process improvement. Our client is seeking someone who excels in the "engine room" of finance-someone who can own the balance sheet, shorten reporting cycles, and lead a team through significant system implementations. Candidates from larger banking institutions are encouraged to apply, provided their experience is rooted in heavy-duty financial control rather than broad FP&A or pure strategy. Candidates must have experience in Banking and must have UK experience Duties of the Deputy Head of Financial Control to include: Financial Control & Core Operations Balance Sheet Ownership: Full responsibility for balance sheet sign-off and high-level P&L review and presentation. Reporting Excellence: Oversee the full month-end close cycle, delivering accurate Management Information (MI) and group reporting to the Executive Committee and Head Office. Process Engineering: Drive initiatives to shorten reporting turnaround times and enhance the robust nature of the control environment. Audit & Compliance: Act as the primary lead for external and internal audits, ensuring all statutory requirements are met. Budgeting: Manage the annual budgeting process and financial planning cycles from a control perspective. Regulatory Support: Provide oversight for regulatory submissions (BoE, PRA); however, this is a supporting function rather than the primary focus of the role. Transformation & System Initiatives (Change Agent) System Implementation: Lead the implementation of new financial systems and auto-reconciliation tools to modernize the finance function. Workflow Optimization: Assess and improve the integration between the Core Banking system and the Data Warehouse to streamline financial reporting. Control Enhancement: Redesign and implement workflows for the month-end process to eliminate manual intervention and increase data integrity. People Management & Development Leadership: Manage and mentor a team of six finance professionals, fostering a high-performance, "roll-up-your-sleeves" culture. Requirements for the successful Deputy Head of Financial Control include: Candidates must have Banking and UK experience. Candidates must be educated to University degree level. Core Competency: A proven track record in Financial Control is essential. This includes balance sheet substantiation, P&L review, and group reporting. Change Management : Demonstrable experience in system implementation and improving/shortening the month-end reporting process.

This is a pivotal leadership role for a "hands-on" controller who thrives on technical accuracy and process improvement.

Audit & Compliance: Act as the primary lead for external and internal audits, ensuring all statutory requirements are met. Budgeting: Manage the annual budgeting process and financial planning cycles from a control perspective. Regulatory Support: Provide oversight for regulatory submissions (BoE, PRA); however, this is a supporting function rather than the primary focus of the role. Transformation & System Initiatives (Change Agent) System Implementation: Lead the implementation of new financial systems and auto-reconciliation tools to modernize the finance function. Workflow Optimization: Assess and improve the integration between the Core Banking system and the Data Warehouse to streamline financial reporting. Control Enhancement: Redesign and implement workflows for the month-end process to eliminate manual intervention and increase data integrity. People Management & Development Leadership: Manage and mentor a team of six finance professionals, fostering a high-performance, "roll-up-your-sleeves" culture.
