Company: ACCOUNTANCY ACTION

Job Type: Permanent, FullTime

Salary: £70,000 - £85,000 per annum

Are you a hands-on, technically strong Financial Controller looking for your next interim challenge? This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing, international group in a fully office-based role where you’ll be at the heart of commercial and operational finance.

We're looking for a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with deep expertise in UK GAAP, group consolidations, and the ability to lead from the front in a high-pressure environment. This isn't a sit-back-and-review role — it's sleeves-up, in the numbers, and working closely with the CFO to drive clarity, compliance, and control.

What you'll be doing:

  • Owning group reporting, audits, reconciliations, and financial governance across multiple entities.

  • Leading budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow reporting across an international group structure.

  • Managing FX and multi-currency reporting and exposure, including intercompany balances.

  • Taking charge of tax compliance, VAT across jurisdictions, and implementing transfer pricing models.

  • Producing accurate and timely management accounts with real commercial insight.

  • Driving process improvement, ERP system optimisation, and scaling up the finance function.

  • Leading and mentoring a team across locations while being fully hands-on.

You’ll need to bring:

  • A track record in interim or project-based Financial Controller roles.

  • Experience working in multi-entity, international group environments.

  • Strong technical skills in financial reporting, FX, multi-currency accounting, VAT, and transfer pricing.

  • A problem-solving mindset and the ability to hit the ground running in a fast-paced, dynamic setting.

This is a no-nonsense role for someone who thrives on autonomy, challenge, and fixing broken processes. If you enjoy partnering with stakeholders, delivering under pressure, and getting deep into the numbers — this one’s for you.
