Group Financial Controller

Group Financial Controller

Omnia Collective is a private-equity-backed AI & Data led technology group entering its next phase of growth - one defined by integration, scale, and operational maturity .

Entering 2026, the focus is on deliberately building a group-level finance function that supports continued acquisition, sharper commercial insight, and confident decision-making at scale.

We’re hiring a Group Financial Controller to take ownership of the financial engine across the group - someone who brings structure, consistency, and judgement, and who enjoys building robust systems that enable growth rather than constrain it.

This is a hands-on, high-trust role with real visibility, working closely with senior leadership as Omnia continues to scale.

The opportunity

You will sit at the centre of the group’s financial engine, acting as the control and execution backbone across multiple operating businesses, systems, and jurisdictions.

Working closely with the CEO and an incoming COO / CFO, you will be the person who :

Owns month-end close - on time, every time

Ensures audits are calm, predictable, and defensible

Maintains absolute confidence in the integrity of the numbers

Identifies issues early, escalates clearly, and resolves decisively

Helps integrate newly acquired businesses into a coherent, scalable group finance model

This is a period of real growth - including further acquisitions - which means accuracy, consistency, and judgement matter . Clean data and strong controls aren’t “nice to haves” here; they are non-negotiable. You thrive on building trust through numbers, insights, and consistency.

What you’ll actually be doing

You will be close to the detail where it counts :

Running group month-end close and consolidations

Reviewing journals, reconciliations, intercompany flows, and balance sheets

Producing reporting packs that leadership and investors trust without hesitation

But this role is not about living permanently in the weeds.

A core part of your mandate is to make finance work better :

Removing manual workarounds and fragility

Tightening AP, AR, payroll, and GL processes

Documenting how things should run - and establishing standards that come to life in the business

Helping the function scale through better systems and processes, not brute force

You will also lead and develop a small finance team , lifting capability from task execution to ownership and judgement - setting expectations, building career paths and holding the line.

Who this role suits

This role tends to suit Financial Controllers who :

Were trained well (often in professional practice or Big Four)

Have operated in PE-backed, listed, or similar high-expectation environments

Have lived through audits, integrations, or transactions where accuracy really mattered

Are comfortable dealing with senior stakeholders and explaining numbers clearly and confidently

You are technically strong - but what really distinguishes you is judgement :

You know what matters

You know when to escalate

You don’t wait to be told when something isn’t right

You take pride in doing things properly, and you care about building something that lasts.

What success looks like

Within 12–18 months :

Month-end close is smooth, fast, and predictable

Audits are controlled, not chaotic

Leadership and investors trust the numbers - and trust you

The finance function feels calmer, sharper, and genuinely scalable

The business operates with more confidence because the foundations are solid

In short : things work better because you’re here .

A final note

This is not a role for someone looking to coast.

It is a role for someone who enjoys responsibility, visibility, and building things properly - with a clear pathway into broader group leadership as Omnia continues to scale. This role participates in ESOP and you will enjoy a remuneration package with a “skin in the game element” aligning you to the long term ambitions of the business.

If that sounds like you, it’s worth a closer look.
