Financial Controller

Financial Controller - Insurance sector - £80-95K - Hybrid working (2-3 days in regional office & London HQ)

A growing insurance company with an established market presence is appointing a Financial Controller to strengthen its finance leadership as the business continues to expand.

The organisation has grown consistently year on year and has recently entered its next phase following further expansion. With scale comes complexity, and finance is now being elevated to provide tighter control, clearer reporting and stronger support to senior decision-making.

This role reports directly into the CEO and will play a key part in reducing founder dependency by ensuring finance operates confidently and independently as the business grows.

The role:

This is a senior, hands-on position with broad exposure across the business.

Responsibilities include:

• Full ownership of monthly management accounts and reporting
• Strengthening financial controls, reconciliations and reporting discipline
• Oversight and leadership of a junior finance team
• Budgeting, forecasting and commercial analysis
• Acting as a trusted finance partner to the CEO and senior stakeholders

The role is intentionally flexible and can develop from Financial Controller into a broader Finance Director remit over time.

The person:

You must be:

• Qualified
• Experienced in the UK insurance sector
• Comfortable operating in a growing, less structured business
• Commercially minded, with the confidence to lead and improve

This role suits someone who enjoys building capability rather than inheriting a finished finance function.

Location & flexibility

• Hybrid working: typically, 2-3 days per week in the regional office (& London HQ as required)

A rare opportunity to step into a senior finance role with clear progression and real influence in a scaling insurance business.
