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

• 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.

• 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.

• Experience improving finance processes, reporting quality, and operational efficiency.

The person we are looking for

• 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.
