An established technology business based in London is seeking a Financial Controller to join the organisation on an initial six month fixed term contract, with the potential for the role to become permanent. Please note, candidates must be available to start immediately or on short notice . The role offers hybrid working, with 2 - 3 days per week in the office and would suit a seasoned Accountant or Finance Manager. Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer as part of a small finance team, the Financial Controller will take overall responsibility for the finance function across the UK business and two overseas subsidiaries. This is a broad, hands-on role and would suit an experienced Financial Controller who enjoys operating at both strategic and transactional levels within an SME environment. The successful candidate will play a key role in delivering accurate and timely financial reporting, supporting budgeting and forecasting processes, maintaining robust financial controls, and partnering with stakeholders across the wider business. The role will involve regular interaction with senior leadership, auditors, banks, tax advisers and international finance teams. Your key responsibilities as Financial Controller will include preparing monthly management accounts within tight deadlines, maintaining the integrity of the general ledger and balance sheet reconciliations, and delivering insightful variance analysis to the CFO. You will co-ordinate annual budgeting and forecasting processes while supporting the preparation of statutory accounts and managing the year-end audit process. The role will also involve overseeing tax and payroll activities, including VAT, PAYE/NI, commission calculations and employee expenses, while ensuring all statutory filings and reporting obligations are completed accurately and on time. In addition, you will take ownership of key finance systems and reporting processes, liaise with overseas subsidiaries and head office finance teams, and support operational areas of the business where required. This is a highly visible role within the business and would suit a commercially minded finance professional who is comfortable working autonomously, taking ownership and adapting to the changing needs of a lean and fast-paced SME environment. The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with at least five years' post-qualified experience in a Financial Controller or similar role. You will have a proven track record of delivering accurate reporting within deadline-driven environments and will possess strong technical accounting knowledge alongside excellent commercial awareness. Previous experience working within an SME is highly desirable, as is a hands-on approach and willingness to support across all aspects of finance operations. Strong Excel skills and excellent communication abilities are essential, along with the confidence to build effective working relationships across all levels of the business. Experience with Zoho Books would be advantageous. The salary on offer is £60,000 - £70,000 per annum pro rata depending on experience, plus benefits and the opportunity for the role to become permanent.
