Financial Controller

Bray, Co. Wicklow | €70,000 | 4-Day Week

I'm currently partnering with a well-established, purpose-led organisation in Bray that is seeking to appoint a Financial Controller to join its leadership team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially focused finance professional who enjoys working in an SME environment where they can make a real impact. Reporting directly to the CEO and Board, you'll take ownership of the finance function while partnering with senior stakeholders to support strategic decision-making.

This is a newly created role, offering the opportunity to bring greater financial leadership in-house and shape the future of the finance function.

The Role

  • Lead the finance function and manage one direct report.

  • Prepare monthly management accounts and board reports.

  • Lead budgeting, forecasting and cashflow management.

  • Deliver meaningful financial analysis to support business decisions.

  • Manage audit, compliance and financial controls.

  • Drive process improvements and strengthen reporting.

  • Partner with the CEO and Board on strategic initiatives.

About You

  • Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CPA or CIMA).

  • Previous experience as a Financial Controller or Finance Manager.

  • Strong management reporting, budgeting and forecasting experience.

  • Commercially minded with a hands-on approach.

  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

  • Comfortable working in a broad SME role.

A background in retail, wholesale, distribution or e-commerce would be a significant advantage.

What's on Offer

  • Genuine 4-day working week.

  • €70,000 salary (already pro-rated).

  • Ad hoc work-from-home flexibility.

  • Direct exposure to the CEO and Board.

  • Broad, autonomous role with real influence.

  • Opportunity to shape and develop the finance function.

  • Join a stable, values-driven organisation with a strong sense of purpose.

If you're looking for a role where you can combine commercial finance, strategic input and hands-on leadership, I'd be delighted to speak with you.
