Interim Financial Controller | Inside IR35 | £500–£600 per day (umbrella) | Hybrid
My client, a large private equity-backed services business, needs an experienced Financial Controller to start in mid-November on an interim basis. You’ll be the Finance Director’s right-hand person in a busy, fast-paced function of around 20, with minimal handover and a need to be effective from day one.
The role
Own the month-end close for a set of key contracts and internal departments. This is a hands-on role, not review only.
Review the P&L, challenge the numbers and prepare clear commentary on the variances.
Take ad hoc analysis requests from the FD and MD and deliver them quickly.
Support the group reporting pack and the year-end audit.
About you
A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with UK Financial Controller experience.
Experience in a large PE-backed business with complex contracts and high transaction volumes.
Strong commercial judgement. You can spot what looks wrong in a P&L and know where to dig deeper.
Used to working with limited handover, and confident engaging with senior stakeholders.
Resilient under month-end pressure, and flexible when peak periods demand it.
Business Central and TM1 experience is helpful but not essential.
Details
Hybrid, three days a week in the office (Tue–Thu), with more office time while you onboard.
Location: West London
