Role Overview

The Group Financial Controller owns financial truth, cash discipline, and capital readiness for the Aeonn Ark Group. This role exists to eliminate financial ambiguity, prevent cash surprises, and impose disciplined decision-making across the organisation. It is a cash-first, control-led role with direct authority to stop spend, enforce budgets, and surface risks early. If it is not budgeted, approved, or cash-safe — it does not proceed.
