Job Description

We are recruiting an interim Financial Controller for a PE backed engineering group based in Cambridgeshire starting early March.

Reporting to the CFO, the role is a key part of the senior leadership team. Focus will be on core financial controls, reporting and process improvement creating a robust and scalable finance function.

As Financial Controller, you will:

  • Own the integrity of balance sheet controls, month-end close and management accounts.
  • Produce accurate, timely management reporting with clear variance analysis and insightful commentary.
  • Lead the year-end audit process and preparation of statutory financial statements.
  • Oversee budgeting, forecasting and cashflow forecasting processes.
  • Drive continuous improvement and automation across financial operations and controls.

To be successful, candidates must have a background which demonstrates strong financial control in a PE backed environment. Experience of process improvement and business partnering within a project or manufacturing business will be advantageous but not essential.

This role is office based 4 days / week. This is non negotiable.
