Financial Control

The financial control function is critical to the overall health of any organisation, as it essentially looks after the bottom line. Profitability, cash flow, credit, investments, expenses, financial policies, transactions, budgeting, and compliance are all areas that fall under the remit of financial control. Without the solid foundations that a dependable control function can provide, businesses would grind to a halt. What roles make up a strong financial control function? From the junior financial controller to the head of finance, the nature of the role can differ greatly depending on which company it’s a part of.

Ultimately, the skillset of a reliable financial controller is often highly transferrable, and due to their essential status within an organisation, they’re generally in high demand. This can make upgrading your financial control function extremely difficult, particularly once you start experiencing substantial growth of any kind. It’s the people that make the company, and if those people aren’t equipped with the right skillsets or attitude, it can be extremely hard to make any real progress. As if things weren’t difficult enough already, the looming recession and the scarcity of talent makes can take their toll on company resources in the blink of an eye.

Business Protection and Enablement Recruitment Services in Dublin

Business is booming in Dublin. From the rapidly expanding Fintech landscape, to the thriving tech sector, there are plenty of opportunities for anyone hoping to carve out a career in a truly astonishing city. Dublin is an attractive prospect for overseas talent, boasting a high standard of living and extremely competitive wages, particularly in the world of business enablement and business protection.


A business-friendly tax scheme (one of the lowest corporate tax rates in all of Europe) and a sturdy economy make the city an enticing prospect for entrepreneurs, and as a hotspot for ambitious tech companies, there’s a wealth of talent to tap into. It’s not just the business benefits that convince investors and individuals to flock to Dublin, it’s the city itself. With an unmistakable charm, a unique beauty, and an energy that you scarcely find anywhere on the planet, Dublin is a hub of culture.


Here at Broadgate, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed delivering staffing solutions to businesses all over Dublin, and we’ve had a great time establishing our presence in the city. We like to be in the heart of the action, and while we work hard to make sure our flexible working policy is reliable, we recognise the value of a strong physical presence in the markets that you’re working in. Our Dublin office is home to a passionate bunch of highly specialised consultants, all of whom have a wealth of experience in recruiting for risk and analytics, finance, accounting and audit, compliance, legal and financial crime, transformation and change, and other areas relating to business protection and business enablement.

Among soaring demand for talent, the threat of a looming recession, and the incredible growth of sectors in the city, Dublin’s companies are going to need to pull out all the stops to secure the right candidates. This can make it difficult for companies struggling with their talent pipeline, particularly those who are looking to scale quickly and build diverse teams.


The recruitment process can take its toll on time, money, and team morale if you keep getting it wrong. The consequences of a bad hire are wide-reaching, and they can be hard to undo. Here at Broadgate, we use a community-led, diversity-focussed hiring methodology to ensure that we pinpoint the best people for the job, while making the best possible impact on the wider world.


A lot of the time, internal hiring managers will rely heavily on their personal networks to source candidates, or they’ll resort to a range of job boards (which everyone else has access to), and this means they’re in no position to benefit from the potential of a wider talent pool. Whether you’re looking to fill exceptionally niche finance director jobs in Dublin, or you’re just moving to the city and want to start a new career, we can utilise our expansive, exclusive, and reliable talent network to find you the best opportunities.


If you’re looking for a Dublin recruitment agency, or perhaps rather, a global staffing agency with a presence in Dublin, then please reach out to the team today, we’re here to help.​
