Job Description:

The Group Financial Controller is the senior operational finance lead for the Group, responsible for ensuring accurate, timely, and decision-useful financial reporting, robust controls, and strong governance across Influencer's multi-entity, multi-currency structure. This is not a 'backward-looking' financial control role. You will sit at the centre of the business, embedding with regional and functional leaders, ensuring they clearly understand what they own financially, how performance is tracked, and how spend translates into outcomes. Reporting into the CFO, you will own the day-to-day integrity of the numbers, freeing up senior leadership to focus on growth, strategy, and transformation - while ensuring the foundations (reporting, cash, compliance, controls) are rock solid and scalable.

Job Responsibility:

  • Own and deliver the monthly group close, producing accurate and timely income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flows, and variance analysis vs budget and forecast
  • Consolidate results across multiple legal entities and currencies
  • Maintain and evolve the group consolidation model
  • Own the month-end timetable
  • Produce high-quality commentary
  • Line-manage the Commercial Finance Managers in EMEA and North America
  • Act as functional lead for Commercial Finance across the Group
  • Own the end-to-end management reporting framework
  • Review and challenge regional management P&Ls before submission
  • Partner closely with the EMEA and North America Presidents
  • Own short-term cash visibility and control
  • Identify and proactively manage working capital pinch points
  • Own all statutory and regulatory reporting obligations across jurisdictions
  • Lead the annual audit process end-to-end
  • Ensure ongoing compliance with IFRS/UK GAAP, revenue recognition standards, VAT, corporation tax, withholding tax, and transfer pricing
  • Maintain a permanently audit-ready environment
  • Accountable for the integrity of revenue recognition across the Group
  • Work closely with Commercial Finance, Operations, and Product & Technology teams
  • Continuously improve financial processes
  • Own and maintain core accounting policies, process documentation, and internal controls
  • Play a key role in embedding new reporting structures

Requirements:

  • Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
  • 5+ years experience in a senior financial control/group reporting role
  • Proven experience in multi-entity, multi-currency environments
  • Strong technical grounding in IFRS/UK GAAP and audit leadership
  • Experience in revenue recognition for project-based, agency, or digital businesses
  • Commercial mindset with an understanding that finance exists to support better decisions
  • Track record of improving processes, controls, and reporting quality
  • Advanced Excel/Google Sheets capability, strong GL systems experience (Xero familiarity a plus)
  • Clear, confident communicator who can simplify complexity for non-finance leaders
  • Comfortable operating at pace in a growing, evolving business
What we offer:
  • Private Healthcare through Vitality
  • Wellbeing support through Vitality including EAP & Mental Health cover
  • 25 days of Annual Leave (+ Bank Holidays which can be flexed to your needs)
