Senior Financial Controller
As the Lisbon office enters a new phase of maturity, the financial infrastructure must evolve to keep pace with asset growth and regulatory requirements. The Senior Financial Controller will lead this transformation, taking full ownership of the development and implementation of the control framework for the Portuguese subsidiary.
The Senior Financial Controller is responsible for defining and overseeing effective controls that safeguard the integrity of all accounting processes. This extends to monitoring the financial performance of Portuguese entities, managing liquidity and cash flow reporting, and tracking the annual budget. Regulatory submissions for authorities such as the CMVM and Banco de Portugal are prepared to ensure full compliance, while the external audit process is coordinated as the main point of contact for auditors, ensuring all deliverables are accurate and submitted on time.
A major attraction of this role is the autonomy to build. With current procedures still undeveloped, the position offers a blank canvas for a professional who enjoys creating structure. The Senior Financial Controller establishes reporting packages and internal controls that meet corporate standards while adapting to local needs, identifying gaps proactively and implementing improvements without waiting for instructions.
The role reports directly to the Chief Operating Officer in Madrid, ensuring high visibility within the group. Locally, the Senior Financial Controller works side-by-side with the Finance Director. This partnership is collaborative rather than hierarchical; the aim is to share the workload and professionalize the function together. The finance team in Lisbon will also include a Junior Financial Controller to handle administrative tasks, freeing the Senior Financial Controller to concentrate on high-level analysis and structural improvements.
A professional with a Big 4 audit background, ideally at manager level, and experience with banking clients or regulated entities fits naturally in this role. Bringing technical expertise together with a humble, hands-on approach, this professional balances discipline around deadlines with the agility to succeed in a small, dynamic office environment. This role delivers the professional rigor of a top-tier investment firm alongside a sustainable work-life balance, making it an ideal step for an auditor ready to transition into a business role where they can leave a lasting mark.
