Clyde Munro is Scotland's leading dental group, operating 64 practices and serving more than 457,000 patients across the country. Established in 2015, the business has grown rapidly to generate revenues of more than £65m, supported by a team of c.500 employees and over 300 dentists. The group provides both NHS and private dentistry across a broad range of general, advanced and cosmetic treatments. Its proposition is centred on making high-quality dental care accessible and convenient, with a modern, patient-led approach focused on long-term dental wellbeing. Clyde Munro places particular emphasis on the patient experience, combining high clinical standards with welcoming practices and strong relationships between patients and their dental teams. Clyde Munro established its platform through the acquisition of a group of practices in the West of Scotland, with significant follow-on capital deployed to expand the network and build a leading dental group in Scotland. It has built a strong platform, underpinned by a consistent clinical and operational approach across its network. As the group continues to scale, it remains focused on maintaining the culture, quality of care and local relationships that have supported its growth to date. Investec acquired Clyde Munro from Synova in March 2025 and is supporting the business through its next phase of growth. The group is led by Jim Hall, Founder and CEO, alongside Chris Howell, Non-Executive Chairman. Today, the business has the scale, infrastructure and market position to continue expanding its footprint. The outlook for dentistry in Scotland is positive, supported by significant Scottish Government investment in NHS dentistry and a continued focus on improving access to dental services. Against this backdrop, Clyde Munro sees considerable opportunity to increase capacity and extend patient access across Scotland. Its growth strategy combines optimisation of the existing estate with surgery expansions, new site development and selective acquisitions. About the Opportunity Clyde Munro is looking to appoint a Group Financial Controller to lead the core financial control and reporting activities of the Group, providing accurate and timely information to support forecasting, analysis and a clear understanding of business performance.

The role will take ownership of month-end reporting, financial controls, statutory reporting and audit, compliance, core finance operations, cash management and working capital. The successful candidate will also play an important role in developing the finance team and strengthening the processes, systems and reporting that support the wider business. Working closely with operational and commercial teams, they will provide financial insight and constructive challenge, while driving greater use of technology, automation, AI and data across finance. As Clyde Munro continues to grow, maintaining a strong and scalable finance function will be an important part of supporting the Group's ambitions. This is a broad financial leadership role combining technical and control capabilities with people leadership and continuous improvement within a growing, private equity-backed business. Key responsibilities Lead the month-end close process and preparation of accurate, timely monthly management accounts for the group, regions and practices, for SLT and Board reporting. Maintain strong financial control across the group, including balance sheet reconciliations, review processes and resolution of issues.

Lead statutory reporting, audit preparation and compliance with relevant accounting, tax and regulatory requirements, manage external relationships including banking and covenant reporting. Oversee core finance operations, including purchase ledger, sales ledger, banking, reconciliations and payroll-related finance processes. Support effective cash management, working capital discipline and short-term cash visibility. Lead, manage and develop five direct reports, setting clear standards, deadlines and expectations. Build a finance team culture focused on accuracy, accountability, continuous improvement and service to the wider business. Work closely with the CFO, Head of FP&A and Senior Leadership Team, providing reliable financial insight, constructive challenge and decision support. Partner with operational and commercial teams to improve understanding of financial performance, risks and opportunities. Improve finance processes, systems and reporting to make them more efficient, scalable and robust. Champion the adoption of better tools, automation, AI and data-led ways of working across finance and, where appropriate, the wider business. Candidate requirements Professionally qualified accountant (CA, CIMA, ACCA or equivalent), ideally with at least 5 years' post-qualified experience. Experience as a Financial Controller, Senior Finance Manager or equivalent, with responsibility for financial reporting, control and transactional finance, ideally within a PE-backed, investor-owned or fast-paced growth environment. Strong technical accounting capability, including month-end reporting, statutory accounts, audit, financial controls and compliance. Experience within a multi-site or distributed business, ideally in healthcare, dental, veterinary, social care, retail, leisure or another customer-focused environment of comparable scale and complexity. Proven experience of leading and developing finance teams, with the ability to set clear standards, manage competing priorities and deliver to demanding deadlines. Strong stakeholder management skills, with the credibility to work effectively with senior leadership, investors, auditors and external advisers. Evidence of improving finance processes, systems, reporting and controls, ideally including BI reporting and the effective use of automation, AI or other data-led tools.
