We combine highly skilled experts with our AI Launchpad, industry-aligned language models, and agents to transform enterprise organisations into AI-powered and data-driven businesses. We work with enterprise organisations on a global stage, reinventing how they design, build, and operate AI-powered software at scale with speed.

Our Purpose:

We're on a mission to reinvent what's possible with AI in enterprise environments. But innovation doesn't happen without strong foundations. Our Financial Controller will play a key role in building a scalable, data-led finance function from the ground up-enabling us to grow with speed and confidence while embedding automation and intelligence into everything we do.

Role Overview:

As Financial Controller at WeBuild-AI, you'll drive our core finance function across management reporting, forecasting, payroll, cashflow, and compliance. You'll be hands-on and proactive-comfortable building financial infrastructure and processes from scratch. This role is ideal for someone who combines deep accounting expertise with a builder mindset and a passion for designing future-facing, AI-enabled finance systems.

Key Responsibilities:

Prepare and manage financial forecasts, budgets, and cash flow planning.
Produce timely and insightful monthly management accounts and financial reports.
Oversee payroll processing and ensure accurate, compliant execution.
Lead on HMRC returns and liaise with external auditors to manage year-end filings.
Build internal financial processes and controls that scale as the business grows.
Collaborate with leadership to align financial strategy with business objectives.
Support departments with cost modelling, resource planning, and financial insights.
Implement modern finance tooling with automation and AI-driven capabilities in mind.

Required Skills & Experience:

Fully qualified accountant (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with proven post-qualification experience.
Experience working in a professional services or consulting company is essential.
Previous experience in a Financial Controller or senior finance role at a high-growth company.
Strong understanding of UK GAAP, HMRC regulations, and audit processes.
Track record of delivering cashflow planning, management accounts, and financial forecasting.
Comfortable being hands-on, building systems and processes from the ground up.
Interest in applying AI and automation to streamline finance operations.
Experience with tools like Xero, Excel/Google Sheets, and finance automation platforms.
Excellent attention to detail, with the ability to distill complexity into clear insights.

The Mindset We Value:

Builder Mentality:

You're not just maintaining a system-you're designing and building something new from scratch.

Tech-Savvy Operator:

You see how AI and automation can radically improve traditional finance processes and want to lead that evolution.

Detail-Oriented, Hands-On Doer:

You're just as comfortable deep in the numbers as you are in strategic conversations with senior leadership.

Trusted Partner:

You lead with integrity, accuracy, and accountability-and become a go-to voice for sound financial decisions.

Growth Opportunities:

Lead the creation of a modern, AI-integrated finance function from day one.
Work directly with the executive team on strategic planning and investment decisions.
Shape the financial systems, tools, and processes that power our growth.
Help define the future of how finance operates in a next-gen AI organisation.
