Financial Controller

£31.6 - £36.6 per hourEstimated

Harper May is partnering with a single–family office based in the City of London, managing a substantial multi–asset portfolio on behalf of its principal and their family. The group has evolved from a private investment vehicle into a full–service family office, overseeing investment activity across private equity, venture capital, credit and alternatives, alongside property, hospitality and a broader base of physical assets. With assets under management approaching $500m to $1bn and an international structure spanning multiple jurisdictions, the finance function is now being strengthened and a Financial Controller is being appointed to own the group reporting end to end.

The Role Reporting into the Head of Finance and Operations and working alongside a lean in–house team, the Financial Controller will take direct ownership of the month–end close, consolidated group reporting and technical accounting across the property, investment and operating entities. The role is a genuinely broad family office remit, hands–on and technically demanding, suited to a fully qualified accountant with a strong controls mindset and appetite for real ownership in a well–capitalised, low–ego environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the month–end close and consolidated reporting across a complex multi–entity, multi–jurisdiction structure
  • Take direct ownership of the property and property–holding company reporting, and the wider group reporting across investments, operating entities and family assets
  • Manage outsourced bookkeeping, tax and administrative providers
  • Own cash management, intercompany balances and treasury reporting across the group
  • Strengthen financial controls, policies and process across the finance function
  • Support statutory reporting, tax compliance and the annual audit across all jurisdictions in scope
  • Partner with the Head of Finance and Operations on planning, forecasting and process improvement

What we are looking for

  • Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or foreign equivalent)
  • Strong technical foundation with experience in a multi–entity, multi–jurisdiction environment
  • Prior exposure to family office, investment firm, property, or professional services is preferred
  • Comfortable owning close, consolidation and statutory reporting end to end
  • Confident partnering with senior stakeholders and external advisors across a complex group
  • Hands–on, well organised, and comfortable operating in a small team with real ownership from day one
