Financial Controller

A commercially oriented Financial Controller is required for a growing luxury clothing retailer based in Central London. Reporting directly to the Managing Director, this is the most senior finance role within the organisation. With full ownership for the finance function, you will play an integral role in managing relationships both internally and externally. Key responsibilities will include:

• Developing reporting and management information across the group, identifying and delivering process improvements
• Preparing the monthly and year end management accounts, VAT, payroll and KPIs, statutory reporting and the business plan, budgets and forecasts

• Providing commercial analysis and insight to facilitate effective business decisions

• Building relationships across the wider business, acting as a key interface between finance and the operational divisions

The successful candidate will be a qualified accountant with a strong reporting background and adaptable approach that enables you to simultaneously understand the business's long term accounting needs whilst being able to 'roll your sleeves up' and get into the detail. You will have the ability to develop working relationships, with the credibility and gravitas to challenge and help drive the business forward. You will have demonstrable experience of accounting and control process improvements. Prior experience of operating within a retail organisation would be highly desirable.
