We’re looking for a Financial Controller to take the reins of our EMEA finance operations. This isn’t just another reporting role, it’s a chance to really make an impact. You’ll gain rare exposure to group-level finance in a fast-paced, PE-backed SaaS business.

Responsibilities:
- Leading the EMEA regional finance function: processes, controls, and reporting.
- Owning monthly reporting for the region, delivering accurate, timely, and insightful packs that help senior leaders make smart decisions.
- Partnering with Group Tax to ensure compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
- Leading M&A finance integration streams for new acquisitions in EMEA, applying IFRS 3, managing purchase price allocations, and embedding new entities into our financial framework.
- Driving process improvement across month-end close, controls, and workflows.
- Stakeholder relationships, working with stakeholders from finance to operations to get things done.
Skills and Experience:
- Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent) with 3+ years post-qualified experience.
- You’ve operated as a Financial Controller or senior finance lead in a multinational business with complexity and scale.
- You have hands-on experience with M&A integration accounting.
- You’re confident managing month-end close, improving processes, and delivering under pressure.
- You can turn complex financial data into clear, actionable insight.
- You’re proactive, organised, and thrive in fast-moving environments and have an eye for detail.
- You’re based in/around (or willing to relocate to) Nottingham, and happy to be in the office 3 days a week.
