Group Financial Controller – International Portfolio
Initial 18 month FTC | Central London | Hybrid working
We have been retained to support an established international group with a diverse portfolio of specialist operating businesses.
They are seeking an experienced Financial Controller to take ownership of statutory reporting, financial governance, audit readiness and control across a multi-entity international division operating across several jurisdictions.
This is an initial 18 month contract, created to support a period of transition, strengthen financial control, and improve the consistency and quality of reporting across the division. The role also offers exposure to a performance-focused ownership environment, with strong senior visibility and a clear mandate to improve control and reporting through change.
The position has senior visibility. You will work closely with divisional CEOs, Group Finance and local finance teams to ensure legal entities are well controlled, audit ready and aligned with wider reporting standards. Month end is managed locally, but this role is responsible for oversight, integrity, control and improvement.
This is not a purely technical reporting role. It requires someone who can operate hands‑on, bring structure to complexity, raise standards across teams, and ensure there are no surprises at audit or review.
You will:
- Oversee statutory accounts across multiple territories
- Ensure tax and regulatory compliance in coordination with Group specialists
- Maintain robust internal controls and governance standards
- Support finance process readiness during a transition toward a more centralised model
- Improve the quality and consistency of reporting through local teams
- Partner cross-functionally with Group Reporting and FP&A
You will be a qualified accountant with a strong background in statutory accounting and financial control across international entities.
You will bring:
- 8+ years’ experience in financial control
- Strong working knowledge of IFRS and local GAAP
- Experience managing audits across multiple jurisdictions
- Confidence working with remote teams and external stakeholders
- A calm, structured and practical approach to governance, control and risk
- The credibility to operate effectively in a fast-moving, performance-focused environment
- The role is UK based, with hybrid working in Central London and occasional international travel.
