TECH-AGNOSTIC ROLE

Up to £110,000 plus excellent bonus and benefits

Hybrid Working available (4 days in the office, 1 day WFH)

Reports to: CFO (SMF2)

Due to exciting business growth, our client, a leading international bank based in the heart of central London, is seeking a fully qualified Deputy Head of Financial Control. This is a pivotal leadership role for a “hands-on” controller who thrives on technical accuracy and process improvement. Our client is seeking someone who excels in the “engine room” of finance-someone who can own the balance sheet, shorten reporting cycles, and lead a team through significant system implementations.

Candidates from larger banking institutions are encouraged to apply, provided their experience is rooted in heavy-duty financial control rather than broad FP&A or pure strategy.

Candidates must have experience in Banking and must have UK experience

Duties of the Deputy Head of Financial Control to include:

Financial Control & Core Operations

  • Balance Sheet Ownership: Full responsibility for balance sheet sign-off and high-level P&L review and presentation.
  • Reporting Excellence: Oversee the full month-end close cycle, delivering accurate Management Information (MI) and group reporting to the Executive Committee and Head Office.
  • Process Engineering: Drive initiatives to shorten reporting turnaround times and enhance the robust nature of the control environment.
  • Audit & Compliance: Act as the primary lead for external and internal audits, ensuring all statutory requirements are met.
  • Budgeting: Manage the annual budgeting process and financial planning cycles from a control perspective.
  • Regulatory Support: Provide oversight for regulatory submissions (BoE, PRA); however, this is a supporting function rather than the primary focus of the role.

Transformation & System Initiatives (Change Agent)

  • System Implementation: Lead the implementation of new financial systems and auto-reconciliation tools to modernize the finance function.
  • Workflow Optimization: Assess and improve the integration between the Core Banking system and the Data Warehouse to streamline financial reporting.
  • Control Enhancement: Redesign and implement workflows for the month-end process to eliminate manual intervention and increase data integrity.

People Management & Development

  • Leadership: Manage and mentor a team of six finance professionals, fostering a high-performance, “roll-up-your-sleeves” culture.

Requirements for the successful Deputy Head of Financial Control include:

  • Candidates must have Banking and UK experience.
  • Candidates must be educated to University degree level.
  • Core Competency: A proven track record in Financial Control is essential. This includes balance sheet substantiation, P&L review, and group reporting.
  • Change Management: Demonstrable experience in system implementation and improving/shortening the month-end reporting process.
  • Qualifications: ACA or ACCA qualified with substantial post-qualification experience in a banking environment.
  • Leadership: Experience managing small-to-medium finance teams (approx. 6 people).
  • Technical Skills: Advanced Excel is mandatory; experience with Power BI or similar visualization tools for control reporting is highly desirable.

This is a great chance to take your career to the next level having just qualified.For this role, you will need to be a good team player, able to lead audits and possess good organisational, planning, and delegation skills. You shall be working on a whole host of different clients across a variety of different sectors from OMB's (owner managed businesses) right through to substantial corporations as well as encountering charitable / NFP organisations. This in turn will give you exposure to utilising your existing skills to the max by taking charge of assignments whilst supervising juniors and providing a high level of service to the client.If you enjoy having variety and constantly being kept on your toes - rather than being a specialist in one given sector - then this is definitely the role for you. In many cases, you shall effectively be operating as a trusted business advisor, especially with OMB clients, as you will have direct proximity to those business owners and they shall be relying on you to give them solid professional advice.
