CyberSentriq is a high-growth, private equity-backed cyber security SaaS business approaching ~$100M ARR, operating at pace within the IT channel.
We are now hiring for a Financial Controller on a 6 month fixed term contract where you will play a pivotal role in building a finance function that inspires investor confidence, enables smarter customer-led decision-making, and scales seamlessly with the business. This is not a traditional reporting role - you will combine financial rigour with AI-driven insight and automation to deliver accurate, forward-looking intelligence that supports growth, strengthens control, and ensures the business remains resilient, compliant, and commercially focused as it scales.

Support due diligence processes and maintain transparency in all financial communications.

-
Lead, mentor, and develop the finance team, building a high-performance function that matches PE-standard expectations.
-
Promote collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement across the finance function.
