Principal Recruitment Consultant @ Investigo | Interim Qualified Finance across Tech, Media, Telco and Professional Services
The Business
A rapidly scaling, international IT services and technology company is seeking a highly capable Interim Group Financial Controller to support the transformation of its finance function.
Headquartered in London, with a global presence and operations across 30 entities, the organisation is in a growth phase with the potential for a strategic transaction within the next few years.
The Role
This is a critical, hands-on role reporting directly to the Group CFO, designed to bring structure, technical rigour, and leadership to a finance team in transition. You will work closely with an established finance leadership team including a Group FD (focused on FP&A, consolidation, and reporting), a Head of Treasury (covering AP, AR, tax and funding), and a Head of FP&A (commercial finance and business partnering).
Key Responsibilities
* Lead all aspects of Group Financial Control, including consolidations, statutory reporting, and compliance across a multi-entity, multicurrency group.
* Build and implement a robust internal controls framework and develop formal accounting policies and manuals.
* Oversee and improve the process for IFRS-compliant reporting (especially IFRS 15 for revenue recognition).
* Manage external audit relationships and support audit readiness (auditors are currently mid-tier).
* Assist with the transition of outsourced statutory accounts back in-house over time.
* Address key challenges including transfer pricing, intercompany billing, and international recharges.
* Support the creation of a scalable finance structure aligned with the companys 3-year strategic plan.
* Act as a technical accounting lead, advising on complex issues and automation opportunities.
The Ideal Candidate
* ACA/ACCA qualified with a strong technical accounting background.
* Proven experience as a Group Financial Controller or similar senior finance role in a complex international business.
* Deep understanding of IFRS, particularly IFRS 15, and experience implementing internal controls frameworks.
* Track record of improving finance processes and controls in fast-paced or transformation environments.
* Experience with multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation and reporting.
* Comfortable working with imperfect data (e.g. spreadsheet-heavy environments) and improving systems over time.
* Strong communicator with the ability to lead, influence, and build finance capability.
Whats On Offer?
* Daily rate of £700 - £800 per day (IR35 still TBC)
* Initial 6 month contract with potential to go on longer
