Group Financial Controller - Distinct Recruitment : Job Details

Group Financial Controller – £100k + Bonus – Nottingham (2 days on-site)

Two days in the office. Thirty-eight days off. A global remit. And a clear path to CFO.

This is a senior group-level role in a fast-growing, private equity-backed business with operations spanning Europe, North America, and Australia. They’re market leaders in their space, growing quickly, and you’ll be stepping into a function that’s stable, well-run, and ready for you to take forward.

The role

You’ll be the driving force behind group financial control, leading a team of four and taking ownership of:

• Group consolidations across multiple entities and currencies
• Statutory reporting under IFRS
• Group audit process and relationships with external auditors
• Tax compliance and transfer pricing across multiple jurisdictions
• Treasury, covenants, and cash flow management
• System improvements in ERP and consolidation tools
• Supporting M&A integration and onboarding of acquisitions

It’s not firefighting – it’s about maintaining high standards, improving processes, and building the platform for continued growth. You’ll work closely with the CFO, Head of Finance, and FP&A lead, giving you direct exposure to board-level decision-making and succession planning. 

Why it’s worth your time:

• £80,000 to £100,000 basic + 10% bonus
• Hybrid – just 2 days a week in the Nottingham office
• 38 days holiday (bank hols + birthday off)
• Private healthcare, mental health support via Calm, life assurance
• Wellbeing leave and volunteering days
• Inclusive, people-first culture with great socials
• PE-backed growth story – plenty of variety and strategic exposure

What you’ll need:

• ACA or ACCA qualified with strong IFRS technical skills
• Hands-on experience in group consolidation (including FX) and statutory reporting for multi-entity, international businesses
• Confident line manager with a track record of developing teams
• Experience managing audits, tax compliance, and treasury functions
• ERP expertise (NetSuite a plus) and process improvement skills
• M&A integration experience would be ideal 

A senior role with flexibility, global scope, and a genuine chance to step into the CFO seat.
