This is a rare opportunity to step into a newly created role where you won't be tweaking existing processes – you'll be building them from scratch.
We're working with a fast-growing, change-heavy business that's at a pivotal stage in its journey. With upcoming corporate reform regulations and major systems and business transformation underway, they're now looking for an experienced Internal Controls Accountant to help shape a robust internal controls environment from the ground up.
You'll be working closely with the Head of Internal Controls – someone with an exceptional track record and a glowing career background. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from one of the best in the industry while making your own mark.
Why this role stands out:
You'll be putting new controls and processes in place – not just maintaining or testing what's already there
The role is split 50/50 across Financial Controls & IT and Internal Audit, giving you wide exposure
It's a real opportunity to make your mark and play a key role in defining how controls work across the business
What you'll be doing in the first 18 months:
Mapping out financial processes
Designing, documenting, and embedding new controls
Identifying and assessing risks across finance and IT
Supporting with control testing and practical recommendations
Helping the business prepare for upcoming regulations and internal/external audit scrutiny
Who we're looking for:
You might be in a controls-focused finance role or working in internal audit with strong process and risk experience. A practice background (e.g. Big 4, controls advisory or internal audit) would be useful:
Our Client is looking for someone who:
Has a clear vision of what 'good' looks like when it comes to controls
Is proactive, curious, and thrives in a changing environment
Can confidently engage with teams across the business and bring people on the journey
If you're looking to step into a hands-on, high-impact role where you can shape something new, add real value, and learn from an outstanding leader – I'd love to hear from you
