Financial controller

As MR MARVIS continues to grow, our Finance team is evolving too. We’re looking for an experienced Financial Controller ready for their next step, someone who can take ownership of Financial Control while helping us build the structure and processes we need for our next stage of growth.

This isn’t a Financial Controller role where every process is already perfectly defined. We’re looking for someone who can maintain oversight of the financial picture when things aren’t always as structured as we’d like, identify where improvements are needed and help build that Financial Control as we scale.

You’ll take ownership of financial reporting and audit, work closely with our Head of Finance on technical accounting topics, help drive the next phase of our Odoo implementation and partner across the business to strengthen our financial processes and controls.
