About BibliU
BibliU is an award-winning, technology-led B2B company transforming the $65bn educational content industry. With a 90% CAGR the past 5 years, we are just getting started. We've cracked the code on Day 1 access to affordable digital course materials for students, while delivering comprehensive campus store solutions that foster human relationships, and increase our stickiness in the world of AI.
The result? Measurable impact: 10% higher student retention, 1-point GPA increases, and partnerships with 170 universities serving 600,000 students each year.
We've fundamentally changed how universities procure, distribute, and manage learning content. We partner with 4,000+ publishers, including Pearson, Oxford University Press, and Wiley to deliver content to universities, and provide rich engagement data and interactive tools like quizzes that help students actually learn.
Here's what makes our story compelling:
Founded in late 2015 as an Oxford University spin out, we've grown explosively with 90% CAGR over the last five years, including 65% in FY25, reaching $100m in annual revenue. Our Series B raised $23m led by Nesta Impact Investments (with Guinness Asset Management, Stonehage Fleming, and Oxford Sciences Enterprises). In late 2023, we acquired Texas Book Company (now 'BibliU Campus') to become the only fully vertically integrated player in the market, driving US organic growth which now represents 90% of our business.
We're hungry for more. We're actively building our M&A pipeline as we compete head-to-head against legacy bricks-and-mortar providers to improve the faculty and student experience while boosting the financial sustainability of universities.
Our culture is collaborative, high-growth, and agile. You’ll join an experienced and motivated executive team with backgrounds from Instructure (Canvas) and other successful edtech companies with exit experience. We operate as a distributed team across the UK and US, with offices in London.
Position Overview
BibliU is looking for a Corporate Controller to own financial control and reporting across our multi-entity group. This is a process-driven, calendar-driven role for someone who brings structure and rigor to the close cycle, treats reconciliations and audit controls as non-negotiable, and is comfortable owning the full picture across multiple legal entities and currencies. You will report directly to the group’s CFO and be the person accountable for accurate, timely, audit-ready numbers across the group.
What You Will Be Doing
- Own the monthly, quarterly, and annual close calendar across all group entities and the Group consolidation, setting the timeline, driving the team to it, and being accountable for hitting it;
- Lead multi-entity consolidation, including intercompany eliminations, cross-entity reconciliations, and currency translation;
- Own preparation of financial statements across entities, including the general ledger, chart of accounts, and accounting policies that sit behind them;
- Own the integrity of balance sheet and bank reconciliations across all entities, with nothing aged and nothing unexplained;
- Oversee accounting to ensure the data behind the numbers is clean;
- Own the finance systems environment (Iplicit), including configuration, controls, and identifying opportunities to use AI tools to speed up and improve accuracy in recurring processes;
- Own the external audit process end to end: planning, PBC list, fieldwork coordination, and query resolution;
- Design, implement, and maintain internal financial controls, acting as the technical accounting escalation point for the wider finance team;
- Ensure compliance with applicable accounting standards and statutory/tax filing obligations across the jurisdictions the group operates in;
- Manage and develop the accounting team, setting clear expectations and building a culture of ownership rather than task completion;
- Act as the go-to finance contact for cross-departmental questions and financial input into business decisions.
What We Are Looking For
Must Have
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field;
- Minimum 10 years experience in financial management, including multi-entity group consolidations;
- Specific depth in both US GAAP and UK GAAP/FRS 102
- Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of a close process and an external audit cycle;
- Strong working knowledge of accounting principles and financial reporting across more than one jurisdiction (US and UK experience preferred, but the key requirement is proven multi-entity/multi-jurisdiction fluency);
- Advanced Excel skills - complex modelling, reconciliation, and analysis;
- Practical experience using AI tools to improve accuracy or efficiency in finance workflows;
- Proven experience managing or mentoring a finance team;
- Exceptional attention to detail, with a low tolerance for unreconciled or unexplained variances;
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills;
- Comfortable owning a deadline-heavy, calendar-driven workload with minimal supervision;
- Clear, confident communicator with finance and non-finance stakeholders alike
Good to Have
- CPA (or equivalent professional accounting qualification) - a plus, not a requirement;
- Direct experience with Iplicit;
- Experience operating in a fast-growing business.
