Atkinson Moss Finance has been engaged to support this thriving business with the new appointment of their Financial Controller.

The Opportunity: Global Reach, Local Roots, 3-Day Weekends.

Are you a qualified finance leader who wants the complexity of international trade without the grueling 50-hour corporate week?

Our client is a privately-owned, forward-thinking leader in global electronic distribution. With an established HQ in the UK and a major operational hub in Hong Kong, they are currently navigating a period of sustained European expansion. They don't just "do" finance; they provide the commercial backbone for a high-growth, technology-driven supply chain.

They are looking for a Financial Controller to lead their team, manage UK statutory requirements, and act as a key strategic influence on their Board.

Why this role is different:

• The 4-Day Week: Believe in high performance, not high hours. Lead a global function while enjoying every Friday off.
• International Exposure: Oversee the management and statutory accounts for their Hong Kong operations, managing multicurrency cash flow and global audit relationships.
• True Autonomy: As the lead for the finance function, you will be the "Architect of Process," recommending and implementing system changes to drive speed and accuracy.

The Mandate:

Reporting to the Board, you will take full ownership of the finance function, including:

• Financial Governance: Overseeing the full month-end close, statutory accounts, and VAT/Payroll compliance.
• Cash Leadership: Managing daily global cash flow, loan stock drawdowns, and invoice finance reconciliations.
• International Oversight: Ensuring their Hong Kong entity is compliant and integrated into their group reporting.
• Commercial Influence: Investigating expenditure, ensuring covenant compliance, and occasionally visiting global suppliers or customers.
• Team Leadership: Mentoring and developing a dedicated team of five.

The Profile We Need:

• Qualified (ACCA/CIMA): You are a high-level professional with maintained CPD.
• Process Driven: You have a "Continuous Improvement" mindset and advanced Excel skills.
• Multi-Site/International Savvy: Experience with global returns or overseas entities is highly desirable.
• Confident Communicator: You are comfortable presenting data to audiences of 50+ and negotiating with external auditors and banks.
• Technical Solid: You have a deep understanding of VAT, Payroll, and Statutory reporting.

The Rewards:

We treat our people like family. Alongside a 3-day weekend every week, we offer:

• Modern Benefits: 27 days holiday, Medical Cash Plan, and 4x Life Insurance.
