We want to be the leading creator of delightful experiences for everybody involved in buying, selling, renting and letting property, regardless of their involvement, to improve the industry for everybody by elevating UK Estate Agencies through world‑class technology.

As the Financial Controller, you are the guardian of the “Source of Truth.” You will ensure our financial engine runs smoothly, delivering a timely, efficient, and accurate month‑end close. Your work provides the foundation for our historical financials and SaaS metrics to feed into forecasting, providing the high‑quality reporting necessary to support key strategic decisions.

You bridge the gap between rigorous technical accounting and the high‑speed demands of a scaling tech business, working closely with the FP&A function and the wider business to drive operational excellence.

This is a growth hire, driven by rapid scaling.

• Fully qualified (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with strong post‑qualified experience.
• Proven experience operating as a Financial Controller or Senior Finance Manager within a scaling, high‑growth environment.
• Strong technical grounding, with clear SaaS/software revenue recognition experience and a deep understanding of financial controls.
• Systems‑first mindset — you instinctively improve processes, leverage automation, and enhance reporting accuracy.
• Confident communicator with gravitas, comfortable challenging stakeholders and translating financial data into commercial insight.
• Meticulous, disciplined, and commercially aware, with the drive to build a finance function that supports rapid and sustainable growth.

• Leading a high‑quality, efficient month‑end close and delivering board‑ready reporting with robust reconciliations and clear audit trails.
• Strengthening financial controls, systems and automation to build a scalable, investor‑ready finance function.
• Acting as the lead for audit, year‑end accounts, VAT, payroll and broader tax compliance.
• Partnering cross‑functionally to translate financial performance into commercial insight, while confidently challenging on accounting treatment where needed.
• Leading and developing the finance team, raising standards, improving processes, and embedding a systems‑first, high‑performance culture as we scale.
