Compass Corporate Services are proud to be partnering with a mission-led healthcare provider delivering complex homecare services for children and adults across London and the South East.

Following a period of growth, the organisation is seeking a commercially astute and hands-on Financial Controller to lead and evolve its finance function. This is a pivotal role offering real ownership and visibility, combining operational delivery with strategic financial planning.

The Role

Working closely with the CEO, the Financial Controller will be responsible for driving financial performance through accurate reporting, budgeting, modelling and forecasting. You’ll lead the day-to-day finance operations while playing a key role in shaping the organisation’s financial roadmap.

• Delivering board-level MI including margin analysis and cost tracking
• Leading financial planning, budgeting and forecasting processes
• Developing robust financial models to support strategic decision-making
• Managing short and medium-term cashflow and treasury
• Overseeing payroll, HMRC filings, and compliance
• Preparing audit packs and managing year-end processes
• Leading and developing a small finance team
• Driving continuous improvement across systems and reporting workflows

Location

This is a hybrid role, with 4 days per week based in the London Bridge office and the other day working from home. Candidates must be able to reliably commute to the office for the on-site days.
