We're looking for a Client-Facing Financial Controller to own the day-to-day finance function for a portfolio of ambitious founder-led ecommerce companies. This is a hands-on delivery role, not an oversight role, where you'll be the go-to finance lead for several ecommerce clients at once, context-switching between them daily, keeping their numbers clean and current, and surfacing the insights that help founders make smart decisions.
Requirements
- Strong technical accounting: you can run a clean close, own balance sheet reconciliations end to end, and reconcile back to source in every account
- Proven track record of closing books within tight timelines (ideally 10 working days or better) across multiple entities
- ACCA, CIMA, CPA or equivalent qualification
- 3+ years owning end-to-end finance for multiple clients or business units simultaneously, so you thrive on context-switching, not just depth
- Hands-on ecommerce accounting experience: Shopify (and ideally Amazon), A2X or Link My Books, multi-channel revenue recognition, COGS
- Proven ability to reconcile payment processors (Stripe, Klarna, PayPal, Shopify Payments) including fees, FX and chargebacks
- Advanced Xero: clean setup of tracking categories, bank rules, reporting layouts and consolidations
- Strong Excel or Google Sheets. You can build a model, not just read one
- Confident on client calls. You can walk a non-finance founder through their numbers and earn their trust
Benefits
- £4,000–£5,000/month depending on experience
- Full-time, fully remote
- 25 days paid holiday
- 10 days paid sick leave
- Local public holidays off
- Your birthday off
- Annual bonus based on individual and company performance
