Interim Financial Controller

New Yesterday

Robert Half is supporting a growing international business on the appointment of an Interim Financial Controller (6-12 month contract).
This is not a steady-state FC role. The brief is to improve, streamline and modernise the finance function as the business scales across multiple jurisdictions.
You'll be brought in to take control of core reporting, but more importantly to challenge how things are done today. There is a clear opportunity to reduce manual processes, improve data quality and embed more efficient, scalable ways of working.
The role
You will own the month-end close across multiple entities, but the focus goes beyond delivery. You will assess current processes, identify inefficiencies and implement improvements that drive consistency, speed and accuracy.
Working closely with the Finance Director, you will help move the function away from manual, spreadsheet-heavy processes towards a more automated and controlled environment.
Key responsibilities
Ownership of month-end close across multiple European entities, improving timelines and accuracy
Review and streamline management reporting and consolidation processes
Identify and implement process improvements across reporting, controls and data flows
Reduce reliance on manual spreadsheets through better use of existing systems
Drive standardisation of accounting policies, processes and reporting across entities
Strengthen financial controls and improve audit readiness
Support automation initiatives across the finance function
Partner with the Finance Director to build a more scalable operating model
Support integration of new entities, ensuring consistent processes and systems
Lead and develop a small team, embedding improved ways of working
About you
Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA)
Proven experience in an interim or transformation-focused finance role
Strong track record of process improvement, automation or finance transformation
Comfortable challenging existing processes and driving change
Experience in multi-entity or international environments
Strong technical grounding, with attention to balance sheet and control
Hands-on, pragmatic and delivery-focused
What's on offer
6-12 month contract with potential to extend
High-impact role with clear transformation mandate
Hybrid working (2-3 days in the office)
Opportunity to leave a lasting mark on a scaling international business
