We are delighted to be partnering exclusively with our client, a high–growth business operating across a range of highly regulated and technically sectors, to recruit a Financial Controller . The organisation is entering an exciting period of growth, strategic development, and preparation for a potential future transaction, creating a unique opportunity for a technically strong finance leader to make a significant impact.
Reporting directly to the Finance Director, this role will take ownership of financial control, reporting, and accounting operations across a multi–entity group. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in strengthening financial governance, improving reporting quality, and ensuring the business is fully prepared for future investor, buyer, lender, and adviser scrutiny.

Key Responsibilities
- Lead the monthly close process and consolidation of multiple entities.

- Strengthen financial controls, governance, and reporting frameworks across the business.
- Support annual statutory accounts preparation and external audits.
- Develop and implement a detailed financial sales–readiness programme.
- Prepare information for vendor and buyer due diligence processes.
- Build and maintain high–quality financial data room documentation.
- Support quality of earnings analysis, working capital reviews, and transaction–related financial reporting.
- Partner with external advisers including accountants, auditors, lawyers, and corporate finance specialists.
About You
We are seeking an ambitious and commercially minded qualified accountant who combines strong technical expertise with proven transaction experience.
You will possess:
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification.
- Direct involvement in a completed business sale, private equity investment, acquisition, or comparable corporate transaction.
- Hands–on experience supporting financial due diligence, data room preparation, quality of earnings reviews, and stakeholder enquiries.
- Strong technical accounting, reporting, consolidation, cash flow, and balance sheet management skills.
- A track record of enhancing financial controls, systems, and processes within a growing or evolving business.
- The ability to engage confidently with senior stakeholders and challenge where appropriate.
- Ideally experience within a multi–entity group environment.
What's on Offer?
- Salary circa GBP75,000
- Flexible hybrid working arrangement
- Cardiff office attendance approximately 20% of the time
- Paid travel expenses
- Exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision–making
- Opportunity to play a critical role in a future business transaction
- A chance to join a growing organisation at a pivotal stage of its journey
If you are a technically strong Accountant who has successfully navigated a business through a transaction and are looking for an opportunity where you can genuinely influence the future direction of an organisation, we would be pleased to hear from you.
