Interim Group Financial Controller – 6-Month FTC

Central London (Zone 1, Hybrid: 2 days per week in office)

We are partnering with a private equity–backed international SaaS and technology business (t/o c £30m) to appoint an Interim Group Financial Controller on a six-month fixed-term contract, with the potential to extend.

This is a key leadership role overseeing the finance function during a period of growth and transformation. Reporting to the Finance Director and managing a team of four across Accounting and FinOps, the successful candidate will take ownership of financial reporting, consolidation, and control across multiple entities and international operations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee all aspects of financial control and statutory reporting under FRS 102
  • Lead the preparation of consolidated Group accounts across multiple entities and jurisdictions
  • Manage month‑end and year‑end close processes and act as the primary contact for external auditors
  • Drive improvements in financial systems, controls, and reporting (using NetSuite)
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a small, high‑performing finance team
  • Support the Finance Director and leadership team with financial insight and ad‑hoc projects

Candidate Profile

You will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or equivalent) with proven post‑qualified experience in a Financial Controller or senior finance leadership role. You’ll bring:

  • Strong technical accounting knowledge (FRS 102)
  • Experience managing multi‑entity and international consolidations
  • Hands‑on experience with implementing / improving an ERP (ideally NetSuite)
  • The ability to operate confidently and autonomously in a fast‑paced environment

Experience within a SaaS or technology‑led business would be an advantage. This is a hybrid role based in Central London, typically two days per week in the office. The ideal candidate will be available immediately or at short notice.
