Financial Controller – Real Estate Lending job at London Full Time NEW

• Hybrid working
• Real estate lending market
• May appeal to a qualified accountant with experience in a specialist lender

Fram is working with a financial services firm in London that is looking to engage a Financial Controller to support and oversee its finance function. The business operates within the real estate lending market and has a dynamic structure, where finance is closely aligned to lending activity, operational performance, and commercial decision-making. The role reports directly to the CFO.

The position covers financial reporting, management accounting, and oversight of day-to-day finance processes. Responsibilities include producing timely and accurate management information, supporting month-end reporting, maintaining financial controls, and ensuring the integrity of financial data. There is also involvement in overseeing transactional finance activity within a business that operates at pace and manages regular transaction flow.

The role works closely with senior management and combines operational responsibility with broader process oversight. There is a strong emphasis on ownership, continuous improvement, and maintaining high standards across reporting and controls. The position also includes responsibility for supporting and developing colleagues within the finance function, making it well suited to someone who enjoys balancing technical delivery with people management and leadership responsibilities.

This may appeal to a qualified accountant with experience in a specialist lender, challenger bank, building society, or wider lending environment. The role could suit either an existing Financial Controller or a Senior Financial Accountant with team management experience who is looking to step into a broader position. ACA or ACCA qualifications would be preferred, although CIMA-qualified individuals will also be considered. Strong Excel skills are essential, particularly the ability to work with and analyse large data sets in a practical and structured way.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
