Overview

We are seeking a commercially minded Senior Financial Controller to join a unique role spanning both THG Ingenuity and a private Family Office portfolio.

This role is the finance lead for King Street Townhouse Hotel and Hale Country Club, whilst helping develop the governance, reporting and financial capability of a growing Family Office portfolio

Reporting into senior leadership, the successful candidate will lead a small finance team and act as a trusted business partner to operational management, providing insight, challenge and financial leadership across multiple businesses.

This role offers a rare combination of hospitality, commercial finance and family office exposure, making it an ideal opportunity for an ambitious Financial Controller looking to broaden their experience beyond a traditional finance environment.

Key Responsibilities

Hospitality Finance Leadership

Lead all aspects of finance for King Street Townhouse Hotel and Hale Country Club & Spa, including:

  • Monthly management accounts and performance reporting

  • KPI reporting and analysis
  • Capex appraisals and investment analysis
  • Balance sheet oversight and control environment

  • Coordination with external advisers, accountants and professional service providers
  • Governance and financial control improvements
  • Support for strategic projects, acquisitions and new business initiatives
  • Development of reporting frameworks and management information

The successful candidate will not be expected to arrive with specialist family office or international structuring knowledge, but should have the capability and curiosity to develop expertise over time.

Team Leadership

Lead and develop a small finance team consisting of management accounting, finance analyst and finance administration support. Responsibilities include:

  • Setting priorities and workload planning
  • Reviewing and challenging financial outputs
  • Coaching and developing team members
  • Improving processes and controls
  • Building resilience and succession within the team

  • Hospitality, leisure, hotel or membership business experience
  • Multi-entity group experience
  • Property or real estate exposure
  • Family office experience
  • Experience working within an owner-managed or entrepreneurial business
  • Experience managing international operations or assets

Personal Profile

We're looking for someone who:

  • Enjoys working closely with business leaders and operational teams

  • Establish yourself as the finance lead for both KSTH and HCC
  • Become a trusted adviser to operational leadership teams
  • Strengthen forecasting, reporting and commercial insight
  • Develop and mentor the wider finance team
  • Improve governance and reporting across the Family Office portfolio
  • Build the foundations for future growth across both the hospitality and Family Office businesses
