Joining Noted Aromas means more than just a job. It's an opportunity to be part of a company that values creativity, celebrates individuality, and is redefining what everyday luxury can mean.

The Role:

Recently backed by Private Equity, the company is on an ambitious scaling and internationalisation journey. Reporting to the newly-appointed CFO, the Group Financial Controller will play a pivotal role in building and strengthening the finance function to support rapid growth and meet the demanding requirements of the investment cycle. This role offers a clear progression path towards a Finance Director position.

· Develop and enhance financial controls, systems, and processes to support business scaling and international operations.

· Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management in partnership with the CFO and wider management team.

· Drive financial analysis and insights to support strategic decision-making in a dynamic ecommerce environment.

· Coordinate with external auditors, tax advisors, and other professional service providers.

· Support the development of internal finance team capabilities, mentoring junior finance staff as the team grows.

· Contribute to the overall strategic finance agenda during the investment cycle and beyond.

· Monitor and manage working capital, financial risks, and regulatory compliance.

· Facilitate business partnering across departments to ensure finance is integrated with operational objectives.

Skills:

· Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).

· Proven experience as a Financial Controller within demanding and fast-growing businesses.

· Ecommerce or digital sector experience strongly preferred but not essential if evidence of quick learning and adaptability is demonstrated.

· Experience within international or multi-jurisdictional businesses highly desirable.

· Strong technical accounting and tax compliance knowledge.

· Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

· Excellent communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills.

· Ambitious, proactive, and comfortable driving change and transformation.

· Comfortable working closely with Private Equity stakeholders.

This is a career-defining role offering the ambition and challenge suitable for a finance professional ready to take the next step into senior leadership within an evolving, internationally focused ecommerce business.
