Group Controller – Director

Role Overview

• Own the integrity and audit-quality of the financials. Take ownership of the company's accounting integrity and ensure financial reporting is accurate, compliant, and defensible across all entities — in partnership with the accounting team that runs the day-to-day close and statements.
• Own multi-entity consolidation and the controls around the close. Own clean, accurate multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation and the control framework that sits around the monthly close, so the numbers are dependable and audit-grade.
• Drive audit readiness. Document internal controls, implement defensible revenue recognition, and bring the company to a point where it can confidently face an external audit.
• Design and oversee the ERP migration. Lead the design of the QuickBooks-to-NetSuite (or equivalent) migration as the backbone of a more mature, audit-grade finance infrastructure, partnering with the accounting team and NetSuite consultants on execution.
• Build the control environment. Establish the accounting policies, internal controls, and process documentation a scaling, internationally distributed business needs.
• Own compliance, transfer pricing, and IP. Own multi-jurisdiction statutory compliance and international tax, and lead transfer pricing and the tracking of IP flows across entities for the group's structure — working closely with external advisors.
• Own key external relationships. Own the relationships with the company's banks, CPA firm, auditors, and core finance and accounting vendors, including bank communications and reporting.
• Lead a lean controllership team. Develop the dedicated support this function needs so controls, compliance, and consolidation scale with the business.

Requirements

• Senior experience — at a B2B SaaS or comparable technology company. You've built or materially upgraded an accounting function, not just maintained a mature one.
• Audit pedigree and qualification — a Big Four (or comparable) background with roughly 10+ years in audit and controls, and an ACCA (preferred) or CPA qualification. You've prepared for or managed an external audit of consolidated entities specifically and you know what audit-ready actually means in practice.
• ERP migration experience — you've led or played a central role in a finance systems upgrade. You understand what it takes to get from growing to audit-grade maturity.
• Multi-currency and international finance experience — managing books across multiple countries, entities, and currencies is second nature to you. European experience is a strong plus (VAT, local statutory regimes), and you're comfortable with international tax, transfer pricing, multi-jurisdiction compliance, and bridging GAAP and IFRS.
• Ownership of a control environment — you've built the controls, documentation, and consolidation discipline behind a dependable close.
• Modern, tech-forward mindset. You're comfortable in an async-first, globally distributed environment where Slack and clear written communication are the default.
