Financial Controller—New US start-up. CPL. Location: Galway, Co. Galway. Location type: at the office. Employment type: full-time. Job type: permanent. Salary: €95,000 - €105,000. Are you an experienced and senior-level accounting professional who is open to a new challenge in the midwest region? Would you relish the opportunity to be amongst the 1st hires of a new US multinational who are setting up here and to lead their accounting/finance function?

Our client, a long-established global organization and market leader in their industry, is in the process of establishing their 1st European operation here in the midwest region and has engaged with us at CPL to help them recruit an experienced financial controller to join them.

This is an outstanding and rare opportunity to get in at the ground floor of a greenfield start-up operation with huge growth and development plans, so if you're interested, please apply or get in touch ASAP.

The Job: Reporting directly to the newly hired EMEA CEO, the successful candidate will be initially in a standalone FC role and cover a full remit of accounting/finance duties and support for the new site and team as well as liaise closely with the US-based finance team on the ongoing growth and development of the function here. More specifically, you will be tasked with the design and delivery of new financial strategies and projects, implement financial controls, oversee tax, audit, and compliance activities across the region, take ownership of the monthly and annual close processes, resolve financial and invoicing queries, manage corporate budgets, assist in commercial decision-making processes as part of the leadership team, and in time grow and expand the finance team.

Your skills/experience that we need: 3rd level degree qualified, or above, in a relevant discipline. 5-6+ years experience in an FC/FM or other senior level accounting role. Fully qualified accountant, ideally with a Big4 or similar training background. Prior experience from a start-up type environment would be a major advantage but is not essential. Experience from the pharma, medical devices, or related sectors would be an advantage. High-level interpersonal skills and proven ability to multitask and lead projects. Strong IT skills and understanding of financial legislation.

The Offer: This position is a permanent role with a salary range depending on candidate experience but expected to range up to approx. 100 base salary initially and with major scope for further growth and development both in salary and responsibilities. In addition, there will be an excellent benefits package with pension, healthcare, a significant annual bonus, and other benefits expected; however, as this client is at the start-up stage, they are not in place at present. This role will be hybrid, with 2-3 days expected in office in the Shannon area with the balance from home/remote, so it could be suitable for Co. Galway-based candidates who are happy to commute. Candidates holding restricted visas or requiring sponsorship will not be considered.
