Do you enjoy getting under the hood of a business - understanding how costs really flow, challenging the status quo and building better ways of doing things? Are you looking for a role where you can take ownership of complex, international cost structures and genuinely shape how a group operates? We're working with a large, private equity-backed business operating across multiple international markets. They are currently going through a period of continued growth and investment and, as part of that journey, they're looking to appoint a Group Finance Research & IT Controller into a newly created role within their central finance function. This is not a typical Financial Controller position . It sits at the intersection of group finance, technology investment and international operations, with a focus on understanding, refining and improving how costs are captured, allocated and reported across the business. You'll take ownership of areas such as IT investment and project accounting, global cost recharges and elements of transfer pricing, working closely with finance, tax and operational teams to bring greater clarity and consistency to how the group operates. There is already significant activity in these areas, but plenty of opportunity to improve processes, introduce structure and make a visible impact. The role would suit a technically strong accountant, most likely ACA or ACCA qualified, who has experience within a group or multi-entity environment and enjoys working in the detail as well as stepping back to see the bigger picture. Exposure to intercompany, cost allocation or project accounting will be particularly relevant, although you don't need to have covered every aspect of the brief before. What is important is an interest in understanding how things work, a willingness to challenge and improve, and the ability to work across teams in a collaborative way. The business is South West-based, with a flexible working model that typically requires just one day per week in the office, alongside a strong overall benefits package that reflects the importance of the role. If you're curious and would like to understand a little more, I'd be very happy to talk it through in more detail - even if it's just an initial, informal conversation. . We do our best to reply to EVERY application! We have been candidates too and we work hard to treat you in the same way that we would want to be treated. Therefore, we try not to rely on a generic advert disclaimer as this is something that is important for us and the businesses we partner with. Given the high volume of responses we receive from the combination of job boards, social media and other sources and despite our best efforts, many of our responses will be via email as we simply can't call every application - We know that may not quite what you want to hear but we hope you'll understand and that you like our approach. We work with great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes us, and our clients stronger, more creative and ultimately better at what we all do. Short-listed candidates will obviously be contacted for this specific role and, regardless of the outcome of this process, feel free to ustilise the 'job seeker resources' on our website.
