Interim Financial Controller | High Growth Tech Start-Up London | Immediate Start

We are delighted to be working with one of London's most ambitious and creative tech start-ups disrupting the advertising space. Having recently raised a substantial series A, the company has already progressed into a series B funding round. They are looking to bring on an interim financial controller to run the end-to-end finance function and support with the upcoming fundraise.

The company has ambitions to double their ARR in the next few months and with an incredibly impressive leadership team in place has already reached a staggering valuation given the stage of evolution of the company!

Their B2B SaaS product has gained traction with some of the worlds most well-known brands and given the unique nature of their technology there are no real competitors in the space - the sky is the limit!
