Financial Controller

Interim Financial Controller

Location: Flexible hybrid working, with approximately one day per week in the East of England and occasional travel into Central London

Duration: 6 months

Rate: £550-£650 per day

Start: ASAP / short notice preferred

The Business

A growing, multi-entity business is looking to appoint an Interim Financial Controller to provide stability and leadership across the finance function while a permanent appointment is made.

The business operates across multiple legal entities and has an established, capable finance team in place. This is therefore not a turnaround mandate or a requirement for a heavyweight Interim Finance Director. The priority is a strong, hands-on Financial Controller who can take ownership of the finance function, maintain reporting standards and support the wider business during the holding period.

The working pattern is relatively flexible, although candidates will need to be comfortable with approximately one day per week in the East of England, alongside occasional travel into Central London.

The Role

The Interim Financial Controller will take responsibility for the day-to-day running of finance, working closely with the CFO and existing finance team.

Key responsibilities will include:

Ownership of the month-end close and delivery of accurate, timely management reporting.

Leadership of the finance team, ensuring clear ownership, deadlines and reporting standards.

Balance sheet control, reconciliations and maintenance of a strong financial control environment.

Commercial and operational finance support to senior stakeholders across the business.

Group reporting, consolidations and reporting across multiple entities.

Supporting year-end, audit and statutory reporting requirements where required.

Identifying and resolving any issues that arise during the interim period while minimising disruption to the existing team

Ensuring finance remains well controlled and commercially useful ahead of the permanent Financial Controller joining.

The Profile

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Financial Controller who is comfortable operating across the full finance function rather than being narrowly focused on either tech...
