Job Description
Client-Facing Financial Controller managing finance operations for founder-led ecommerce companies. Delivering timely financial insights and overseeing accounting responsibilities for multiple clients.
Responsibilities:
- Run end-to-end finance for a portfolio of founder-led ecommerce clients: month-end close, management accounts, cashflow, reporting and ad-hoc analysis
- Deliver month-end close within 10 working days for every client, including full balance sheet reconciliations signed off to source
- Review day-to-day finance operations across your portfolio and raise the bar on accuracy and timeliness
- Oversee supplier payment runs and make sure cash is going out cleanly, on time and properly approved
- Maintain granular weekly cashflow forecasts so founders know exactly where they stand
- Own multi-channel revenue reconciliation using A2X or Link My Books (Shopify primary, Amazon and other marketplaces where relevant)
- Reconcile payment processor payouts (Stripe, Klarna, PayPal, Shopify Payments) including fees, FX, refunds and chargebacks
- Handle inventory and COGS accounting: landed cost, stock adjustments, margin analysis, 3PL reconciliations
- Lead weekly and monthly client calls: walking founders through their numbers, answering questions on the fly, flagging risks and opportunities
- Manage and mentor Finance Managers working on your clients, reviewing their work and raising the bar
- Build and refine reporting packs, KPI dashboards and cashflow models that clients actually use
- Continuously improve the playbook: better processes, smarter tooling, AI-assisted workflows
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:
- 25 days paid holiday
- 10 days paid sick leave
- Local public holidays off
- Your birthday off
- Annual bonus based on individual and company performance
