Financial Controller

IOLLA is a direct to consumer, independent retailer of high quality eyewear; designed in house and enjoyed worldwide through our online and physical spaces. Our mission is to become the most popular prescription eyewear brand wherever we are, and we want you to help get us there! We’re hiring a Financial Controller to take ownership of IOLLA’s finance function and help shape the next phase of our growth. Based at our Glasgow HQ, this is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing retail eyewear brand at a genuinely pivotal point. We are aiming to expand from 6 to 20 stores over the next 3 years. You’ll work closely with our Finance Director and co-founder to rebuild and modernise our finance stack, strengthen financial processes, and bring greater rigour and insight to the business. The role goes well beyond day-to-day financial control. You’ll be expected to challenge how things are done, design better ways of working, and help shape how finance operates as part of the leadership team. For the right person, there is a clear pathway into succession for the Finance Director role, alongside share options. That said, this is not a purely strategic role. You need to be comfortable rolling your sleeves up and working hands-on in the accounts. We’re looking for someone who can operate at leadership level while still being deeply involved in the detail.
