Financial Controller

Are you a hands-on finance leader who brings strong control, commercial judgement, and positive energy to the table? We are looking for a Financial Controller to join Enea’s Network Security business unit in Dublin, reporting to the Group FC. This is a role for someone who enjoys building trust across the business, gets the detail right, and brings passion, pace, and enthusiasm to how finance supports performance.

Role and Key Responsibilities

This role is primarily focused on financial control, reporting, compliance, and governance, with an element of the role focused on business controlling and commercial support. You will lead finance control activities for the Network Security business unit, manage a small finance support team, and work closely with business leaders, project managers, sales, people, operations, and corporate finance colleagues.

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead monthly consolidated management accounts, reporting, reconciliations, and finance close activities in line with Enea Group policies and deadlines.
• Own revenue recognition and deferred revenue calculations, applying strong software revenue recognition principles and ensuring compliance with accounting standards and internal policies.
• Maintain a strong control environment across the business unit, ensuring finance processes are documented, understood, consistently applied, and audit-ready.
• Lead budgeting, forecasting, cash flow planning, and performance reporting, with clear assumptions, practical challenge, and timely insight.
• Partner with project managers and business leaders on revenue forecasting, cash forecasting, margin visibility, contract performance, and business risks.
• Take responsibility for audit preparation, statutory and regulatory reporting support, tax compliance activities, and payroll oversight across multiple jurisdictions.
• Lead, support, and develop the finance support team, setting clear priorities while creating a collaborative, accountable, and positive working environment.

Qualifications, Key Skills and Competence

Required qualifications

• Fully qualified accountant recognised by a relevant accountancy institute, such as ACCA, CIMA, CPA, or ACA.
• Ideally 5 years of experience at Financial Controller level or in a comparable senior finance control role.
• Strong technical accounting knowledge, including revenue recognition, deferred revenue, controls, reconciliations, and audit readiness.
• Proven experience preparing management accounts, budgets, forecasts, audit schedules, cash flow reporting, and financial analysis.
• Experience working with senior stakeholders and translating finance data into clear, practical business insight.
• Strong IT capability, including Microsoft Office, finance systems, and reporting tools.
• Clear written and spoken English, with the ability to communicate confidently with finance and non-finance audiences.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience in the software, telecom, cybersecurity, or technology sector.
• Experience with Salesforce and NetSuite.
• Tax knowledge and experience supporting international subsidiaries (India, UAE).
• Experience overseeing payroll across multiple jurisdictions.
• Experience improving finance processes, reporting quality, and operational efficiency.

The person we are looking for

This role needs more than technical finance capability. We are looking for someone who brings strong financial discipline and a constructive, energetic approach to working with others.

• You bring energy, passion, and a positive attitude, even when deadlines are tight and the detail matters.
• You are serious about quality, controls, and compliance, but you do not make finance feel like a punishment exercise.
• You build trust quickly by being clear, reliable, practical, and commercially aware.
• You enjoy working with different teams and can explain complex financial topics in plain English.
• You lead with accountability, good judgment, and a steady approach, while keeping the team environment collaborative and human.
• You are comfortable balancing financial control with business partnering, knowing that this role is primarily financial controlling, with an element of business controller.
