  • Managing multi-currency and multi-entity accounting, optimising systems (Xero) and improving finance workflows
  • Supporting growth initiatives including grants, funding readiness and international expansion as the team scales from ~35 to 60+

About you

  • Experience in a Financial Controller or senior finance role within a scaling tech or R&D-led business
  • Strong hands-on capability across month-end, tax and statutory reporting
  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving environments and building finance processes from the ground up
