Homey Group is building AI-native software and operations across property, legal and financial services. We run a multi-entity group with a fast-growing finance function, and we want a hands-on Financial Controller who will own the numbers and rebuild how finance works through automation.

This is a senior, high-ownership role in London. You will run month-end and year-end across multiple UK entities, own statutory accounts, VAT, payroll reporting and intercompany, and report directly to the founders and leadership team. Just as importantly, you will design and build the systems that remove manual finance work: bank-feed and reconciliation automation, intercompany and client-money controls, reporting dashboards and approval workflows.

What you will do:
- Own the finance function end to end: bookkeeping quality, month-end close, management accounts, statutory accounts, VAT, corporation tax and audit readiness across several UK entities
- Run multi-entity consolidation and intercompany accounting, including recharges, loans and cash movements between group companies
- Maintain tight cash, forecasting and budgeting, and give leadership a clear weekly view of cash, margin and runway
- Design and ship finance automation using Xero, scripts, APIs and workflow tools (for example Zapier, Make or n8n, Python, SQL, Google Sheets and Apps Script) so that reconciliations, invoicing, accruals and reporting run with minimal manual effort
- Build controls and segregation of duties that stand up to lenders, investors, regulators and external auditors, including client-money and regulated-entity accounting where relevant
- Lead and develop the finance team, and manage relationships with external accountants, auditors, banks and HMRC
- Work with product and engineering to turn finance processes into reliable, documented, tested workflows

Essential:
- Fully qualified accountant: ACA, ACCA or CIMA (or equivalent chartered qualification)
- Proven experience as a Financial Controller or senior Finance Manager running month-end, statutory accounts and audit in the UK (UK GAAP)
- A genuine tech background: you have built or implemented finance automation, integrations or data workflows, not just used them
- Strong Xero experience (or comparable cloud ERP) and multi-entity or group accounting
- Comfortable working with APIs, SQL or Python, and low-code automation tools
- Based in London and able to work hybrid from our London office

Strongly preferred:
- A STEM degree (for example computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics or similar), or a STEM-led career before or alongside accountancy
- Experience in a fast-growing technology, fintech, proptech or professional services business
- Experience with client-money accounting, regulated entities or lender and investor reporting
- Experience designing internal controls and preparing a business for due diligence

You will thrive here if you are hands-on, curious about automation, and comfortable owning outcomes rather than waiting to be told what to do.

- Salary of £95,000 to £115,000 depending on experience, reviewed as the role grows
- Discretionary performance bonus linked to finance delivery and automation outcomes
- Hybrid working from our London office
- Direct access to the founders and leadership team, with real ownership of the finance function and its tooling
- Budget and support to buy and build the right finance and automation tools
- A modern, AI-native engineering culture where you can build as well as report
- Workplace pension, statutory holiday and other benefits as set out in your offer
- A quick, respectful hiring process: a short intro call, a practical interview and a fast decision

We are an equal opportunities employer. Candidates must have the right to work in the UK.
