Join to apply for the Group Financial Controller role at iMultiply

iMultiply is partnering with a private equity‑backed, multi‑site professional services group to appoint a Group Financial Controller into a newly created role. This opportunity sits within a business that has recently completed a significant investment round and is now executing a clearly defined buy‑and‑build strategy, combining organic growth with a strong pipeline of acquisitions across the UK.

• Lead budgeting, forecasting and rolling cashflow planning
• Act as a key contributor to M&A activity, including due diligence, integration and reporting alignment
• Produce investor‑ready board packs and performance analysis
• Support banking relationships, working capital management and liquidity planning
• Partner closely with senior stakeholders across operational and commercial teams

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
• Experience in a multi‑entity / group environment
• Background in private equity‑backed, acquisitive or transaction‑led businesses strongly preferred
• Proven capability in scaling finance functions and improving controls
• Comfortable operating in an evolving, fast‑paced environment
• Commercial, detail‑oriented and confident working with senior leadership and investors
• Strong systems and Excel capability

• Competitive salary with benefits
• Glasgow based (Hybrid working opportunity)
• Opportunity to work alongside a forward thinking FD as a high level mentor.
