Financial Controller

Financial Controller (SaaS / Scale-up) Street Group · Manchester (Hybrid)

📍 Manchester (Hybrid) 💰 £75,000 – £80,000 👥 Reporting to the FD

ABOUT THE ROLE

Street Group is one of the fastest-growing PropTech businesses in the UK — and we're growing fast enough that we need someone to own the financial engine that powers it.

As Financial Controller, you are the guardian of our Source of Truth.

You'll ensure a timely, accurate month-end close and deliver the high-quality reporting that feeds into forecasting and informs key strategic decisions.

You'll bridge rigorous technical accounting with the demands of a scaling SaaS business — working closely with our FP&A function and the wider team to drive operational excellence.

This is a growth hire. We're scaling quickly and we need a Financial Controller who can build with us, not just manage what's already there.

You'll be reporting directly to the FD and leading a small finance team.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Lead a high-quality, efficient month-end close and deliver board-ready reporting with robust reconciliations and clear audit trails

• Strengthen financial controls, systems and automation to build a scalable, investor-ready finance function

• Act as the lead for audit, year-end accounts, VAT, payroll and broader tax compliance

• Partner cross-functionally to translate financial performance into commercial insight, confidently challenging on accounting treatment where needed

• Lead and develop the finance team — raising standards, improving processes, and embedding a systems-first, high-performance culture as we scale, including AI use where applicable

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Fully qualified (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with strong post-qualified experience

• Proven experience as a Financial Controller or Senior Finance Manager within a scaling, high-growth environment

• Strong technical grounding with clear SaaS / software revenue recognition experience and a deep understanding of financial controls

• Systems-first mindset — you instinctively improve processes, leverage automation, and enhance reporting accuracy

• Confident communicator with gravitas, comfortable challenging stakeholders and translating financial data into commercial insight

• Meticulous, disciplined and commercially aware, with the drive to build a finance function that supports rapid and sustainable growth

SALARY

£75,000 – £80,000, dependent on experience. Sometimes the perfect person is more or less experienced than we anticipated — in those situations, the planned range goes out the window. If you think that might be you, apply anyway and let us know.

WHO ARE STREET GROUP?

We're an award-winning PropTech business based in Manchester, founded in 2015 by brother and sister duo Tom & Heather Staff. Most of us have personal experience of how painful moving can be — Tom and Heather saw an opportunity to change that.

Our products, Street.co.uk and Spectre, form a powerful duo that transforms how estate agents win and manage business. Spectre alone generates an average ROI of over 3,000% for the agents using it. We're now working with thousands of agencies across the UK and we're just getting started.

INTERVIEW PROCESS

3 stages — straightforward and designed to be two-way:

• Talent Screen — an introductory call with our Talent team

• Technical Finance Interview

• SLT & Co-Founder Meet

If you need any adjustments or have anything you'd like us to know before we meet, just say the word.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Research shows that women often rule themselves out of applying unless they meet 100% of requirements. If that's you — please apply anyway. We'd love to see your application.

We care deeply about making the tech industry more inclusive and diverse, and we work hard to lead by example. We're committed to Equal Employment Opportunity through attracting and retaining a complementary team. Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK.

A note on AI: We embrace AI tools and encourage their use in your application — but we want to hire the authentic you. Use AI as a tool, not a replacement for your own voice.
