Manchester, New Hampshire, United Kingdom Axon Moore Full time £100,000 - £120,000 per year

Group Financial Controller

Location: Manchester | Hybrid

Salary: Up to £120,000 + Bonus + LTIP

Axon Moore are partnering with a high-growth, forward-thinking Group to appoint an exceptional
Group Financial Controller
— a pivotal hire who will own Group reporting, strengthen financial operations, and play a key role in shaping the finance function of the future.

If you're an ACA-qualified leader who thrives in a fast-paced, multi-entity environment, this is a standout opportunity to join a business on an exciting growth journey.

The Opportunity:

As Group FC, you'll lead all aspects of
financial reporting, technical accounting, and operational finance
, acting as a strategic partner to senior leadership. You'll drive improvements across systems, controls, processes, and teams — ensuring world-class financial governance and enabling scalable growth.

What You'll Be Responsible For:

Financial Reporting & Technical Accounting

  • Lead consolidated reporting, statutory accounts, and Group audit.
  • Prepare technical accounting papers for acquisitions, disposals, and complex transactions.
  • Provide IFRS expertise across revenue, share-based payments, acquisition accounting and more.
  • Ensure compliance across tax, VAT, R&D claims, payroll sign-off and regulatory reporting.

Operational Finance & Controls

  • Oversee and develop the operational finance team.
  • Drive a robust month-end close and balance sheet integrity.
  • Manage cash flow, working capital and financial risk.
  • Build relationships with banks, auditors, tax advisors and key stakeholders.

Process Improvement & Transformation

  • Improve end-to-end finance processes across OTC and P2P.
  • Introduce automation, systems enhancements and reconciliation digitisation.
  • Define and monitor KPIs to enhance financial performance and reporting quality.

Leadership

  • Lead, mentor and develop a high-performing finance team.
  • Foster a culture of accuracy, accountability and continuous improvement.

What We're Looking For:

  • ACA (or equivalent) with
    several years PQE
  • Proven experience as
    Group FC / Head of Reporting / Senior Manager
    in a complex Group.
  • Deep IFRS expertise and strong audit background.
  • Experience in high-growth, private equity or listed environments with tight deadlines.
  • Strong systems capability with a continuous improvement mindset
  • A strategic thinker with exceptional attention to detail and communication skills.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • High-impact leadership role with genuine influence.
  • Opportunity to shape a modern, scalable finance function.
  • Exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision-making.
  • Join a dynamic organisation on an exciting growth trajectory.

If you're a commercially minded, technically strong finance leader ready to step into a career-defining Group FC role, we would love to hear from you.
