Financial Controller UK

Insly is a no-code insurance SaaS software provider with a global reach. With HQ in London and offices in Tallinn and Warsaw, Insly has grown fast and is backed by well-known investors.

Our mission is to digitalise and connect the $4 trillion insurance industry in order to reduce the cost of insurance for customers and help them access better insurance services.

1000+ insurance brokers and 50+ underwriting companies log into Insly every day to design and launch their insurance products, manage business-critical operations and support writing over €1bn in premiums. But we’re just getting started.

We're looking for a Financial Controller to take ownership of the day-to-day running of our group finance function and the integrity of our numbers. This is a hands-on role with real breadth: you'll own the month-end close and statutory reporting, sharpen our controls and processes, and act as a trusted partner to the Head of Finance and wider business as we grow.

It suits someone who qualified in a top accounting firm, has a few years of post-qualification experience behind them, has prior experience managing junior staff and now wants to move in-house and get real ownership over financial processes.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the month-end and year-end close across group entities, delivering accurate and timely management accounts

• Prepare consolidated group reporting and statutory financial statements, and manage the annual audit

• Maintain and improve the control environment - reconciliations, approval flows, policies and documentation

• Own revenue recognition for our SaaS and services revenue streams, including deferred revenue and contract accounting

• Manage cash flow reporting, working capital and treasury operations

• Oversee compliance across tax, VAT and statutory filings in the jurisdictions we operate in, working with external advisors

• Support budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis alongside the FP&A side of the team

• Improve how finance runs: systems, automation and reporting that scale with the business

• Support corporate activity including acquisitions, integrations and investor or lender reporting

• Mentor and develop junior members of the finance team

What You’ll Bring:

• ACA or ACCA qualified

• 2–5 years of post-qualification experience

• Qualified with a leading accounting firm (Big 4, Forvis Mazars, BDO, Grant Thornton or similar)

• Experience in SaaS and/or professional services

• Experience with multi-entity, multi-currency and consolidation

• Confident owning a close process end to end, with a genuine eye for detail and accuracy

• Comfortable in a fast-moving environment where processes are still being built rather than inherited

• Clear communicator who can explain financial results to non-finance colleagues

• Fluent English

• Flexible working time and working place - we choose results over the process but know that with freedom comes accountability!

• Company benefits - we want to make sure you are in great health, so we offer health insurance or sports compensation.

• Flat structure - in Insly we do not believe in titles or hierarchies, you can turn to anybody at any time - no corporate BS!

• Friendly colleagues and supporting managers - people are Insly’s greatest asset, so we will make sure everyone is surrounded by awesome teams and have helpful managers.

• Family- and employee-friendly employer - our employees perform several roles in their lives, and we aim to support all of them.

• Innovation - we believe in what we do, and we do it with great passion – join Insly and be part of the innovation wave hitting the insurance market!
