Our client, a fast-growing, PE-backed, £25m turnover, international software group requires a Group Financial Controller to work closely with the Group CFO, as part of a small head office finance team, to drive double-digit revenue growth and treble the size of the business (£75m) in the next 3 years through organic growth and acquisitions.

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious, career-driven individual with their sights set on stepping-up to an FD/CFO position in 3 years' time.

The successful candidate will be a qualified accountant, ideally from a big 4/large practice background with 5 years+ PQE and experience of private equity and/or M&A. You will have strong technical financial skills coupled with FP&A experience in commerce & industry - either within the software / technology sector or a similar fast-paced environment. Applications from good candidates within the retail sector - with good FP&A / M&A - are welcomed

You will have strong excel / modelling skills and experience in using MI tools such as cognos / hyperion / anaplan etc..

This is a broad role covering all areas of financial control, planning, strategic & commercial finance and group accounting - including helping CFO with development of tax and FX planning, managing group audit (IFRS 15 and 16), Group Accounting policies and Group Treasury.

The ideal candidate is likely to come from an SME background where they have worked close to the business in a hands-on environment and had a direct impact on making things happen, rather than a huge corporate. Industry sector experience is not as important as finding a candidate with the right attitude, drive, motivation and the intelligence and ability to understand the business and its goals.

The salary package will be supplemented by the potential for a substantial reward from LTIP.

Applications are welcomed from candidates with a software background or experience in other fast-moving sectors - for example: M&A Analysts with c.5 years PQE in a retail background or similar.
