Full-time🎯 Lead / Principal💰 £60,000 – £70,000🇬🇧 UK📅 Sep 2, 2026
We're a growing technology and business services company backed by Pine Services Group, a private equity firm building a portfolio of category-leading ERP and consulting businesses. We help mid-market organisations run their finance and operations better — and we're scaling fast across the UK and Ireland.

Who We Are

    We're part of the Pine Services Group family of companies — operators, not just investors, building something built to last across the UK, Ireland, and beyond.

Who We Need

    We're looking for a Financial Controller who's ready to own the numbers and help build the finance function as the business scales. You're comfortable in a lean, fast-moving environment, you don't wait to be told what needs fixing, and you bring the rigor of a controller with the mindset of a builder. If you thrive on ownership and want to shape financial operations across a growing UK/Ireland footprint, this is your seat.

What You'll Do

  • Own monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes, ensuring accuracy and timeliness
  • Prepare and review financial statements in line with UK/Irish GAAP requirements
  • Manage cash flow, budgeting, and forecasting across the business
  • Oversee AP/AR, payroll coordination, and day-to-day financial operations
  • Ensure compliance with UK and Irish tax, statutory, and regulatory requirements
  • Partner with leadership to provide financial insight that drives decision-making
  • Build and strengthen internal controls and financial processes as the company scales
  • Support audit processes and liaise with external accountants/auditors

What We're Looking For

    Requirements:

    • Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent)
    • Proven experience as a Financial Controller or in a senior finance role
    • Strong knowledge of UK and/or Irish statutory and tax requirements
    • Hands-on experience managing month-end close and financial reporting
    • Fluency with US GAAP
    • Nice to Haves:

      • Experience in a PE-backed or multi-entity environment
      • Familiarity with ERP/accounting platforms (Sage, NetSuite, or similar)
      • Experience operating across both UK and Irish entities

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary: £60,000–£70,000
  • Competitive benefits package (medical, dental, vision)
  • Generous PTO and company-observed holidays
  • Pension with employer contribution
  • Professional development opportunities
  • A people-first culture backed by Pine Services Group


  • A Pine Services Group Company
