Base pay range

Talentedge is excited to be partnering with a rapidly scaling eCommerce fulfilment and technology business that supports some of the UK’s most exciting D2C and consumer brands across health, wellness, and lifestyle.

With a tech-led model, they’re redefining operational excellence for high-growth brands, and they need a hands-on Financial Controller to help drive that mission.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a commercially astute, qualified accountant to take full ownership of the financial control function in a dynamic and fast-evolving environment.

Why Join?

  1. Work directly with ambitious leadership and investors
  2. Create long-term value through robust financial control, risk mitigation, and strategic insight

What You’ll Be Doing:

As Financial Controller, you’ll take full responsibility for finance operations, with a focus on control, compliance, and systems development to support scaling. Your core responsibilities will include:

  1. Designing and implementing scalable financial control frameworks, processes, and reporting systems
  2. Leading daily and monthly cashflow reporting and short-to-medium-term cash management
  3. Overseeing the transactional finance function (AP/AR) and month-end close process
  4. Managing payroll and ensuring accurate, compliant reporting in collaboration with HR
  5. Leading internal audit processes, developing risk registers, and reporting on control gaps
  6. Taking ownership of balance sheet integrity and proposing key adjustments (e.g. P13)
  7. Building a purchase order system to drive spend control and cost accountability
  8. Supporting statutory compliance, internal/external audit, and broader governance initiatives

What We’re Looking For:

  1. ACA / ACCA / CIMA qualified with immediate availability
  2. Proven experience building out financial control processes within scaling businesses
  3. Hands-on, detail-oriented and process-driven, with the ability to operate at pace
  4. Excellent communication and collaboration skills – comfortable influencing at all levels
  5. A strong understanding of financial systems and controls (Xero experience a plus)
  6. Previous exposure to high-growth eCommerce, D2C, or consumer sectors is desirable

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who thrives in building from scratch, enjoys taking ownership, and wants to make a real impact in a business scaling at speed.
