Financial Controller

Role overview

An owner-managed commercial real estate business in Dublin is seeking a Financial Controller to take ownership of the finance function and work closely with the Managing Director and CFO. The position is very hands-on and plays a central part in acquisitions, portfolio oversight, and the company’s continued growth.

The organisation oversees a varied commercial property portfolio across Ireland, including office, retail, and industrial assets. This is a smaller, non-corporate setting where the role carries genuine influence, autonomy, and direct exposure to senior leadership from the outset.

Key responsibilities

• Take responsibility for the complete finance operation across the portfolio, covering SPVs, holding entities, and property-level companies.
• Assist with new acquisitions by building financial models, supporting structuring decisions, and helping drive execution.
• Handle treasury management, borrowing facilities, and relationships with lenders.
• Lead the preparation of budgets and forecasts, and manage cash flow across both individual assets and the wider portfolio.
• Track portfolio metrics such as yields, IRR, returns, and covenant adherence.
• Supervise a compact internal finance team and coordinate with several external advisers.

Candidate profile

• ACA or ACCA qualified accountant with approximately 10 years of post-qualification experience.
• Experience in real estate, property investment, private equity real estate, funds, SPVs, ICAVs, or investment management.
• Strong technical ability with practical exposure to reporting, treasury, tax, and debt matters.
• Commercially aware and comfortable working close to transactions and senior stakeholders.
• Proven ability to manage, coach, and develop a team.

What’s on offer

This is a strong opportunity for an experienced finance leader to join an ambitious, acquisition-focused business in Dublin. The company promotes a highly autonomous culture based on trust, and it supports flexible working arrangements. While a hybrid model is offered, the role is based onsite in Dublin.
