We are working with a privately backed, multi-site business seeking an experienced Interim Financial Controller to support the finance function through a particularly busy period of change and integration activity.

This is a hands-on role requiring an experienced and commercially aware finance professional who can quickly stabilise processes, improve financial controls, and support the business through ongoing audit and financial due diligence activity.

The successful candidate will primarily be based at the company’s East Yorkshire head office, with occasional travel to an additional site in the North East. Travel expenses will be covered.

Key responsibilities

• Supporting the business through ongoing audit and financial due diligence processes
• Reviewing and improving balance sheet reconciliations and overall financial controls
• Investigating and resolving historic accounting inaccuracies following a recent acquisition
• Bringing greater rigour and structure to month-end and reporting processes
• Working closely with senior leadership to provide reliable financial information during a period of change
• Supporting integration and finance improvement activity across multiple sites

Candidate profile

We are keen to speak with experienced Financial Controllers or senior finance professionals who:

• Are immediately available or available at short notice
• Have strong technical accounting and balance sheet reconciliation experience
• Are comfortable working through historic accounting issues and incomplete records
• Can operate autonomously and bring credibility to an established finance team
• Have experience within owner-managed, acquisitive or multi-site environments
• Are pragmatic, hands-on and capable of operating at pace

Previous exposure to acquisition integration, audit support or FDD environments would be highly advantageous.
