Interim Group Financial ControllerLocation: Nottingham (Hybrid – 1 day per week on-site)Day Rate: Highly competitive (Inside IR35)Start Date: 1st September 2025Duration: Until end of January 2026 (initially)

A private equity-backed business is looking for an experienced Interim Group Financial Controller to join from the beginning of September. The appointment is to cover a gap while a permanent hire is recruited — and if you’re interested, there is the potential to be considered for the role on a permanent basis.

You’ll join a well-established finance function and benefit from a structured handover from the outgoing Financial Controller. It’s a high-performing environment with strong leadership in place — ideal for someone who can bring clarity, consistency, and structure.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead a team of four across the UK and internationally

• Manage group-level financial reporting and consolidation across multiple global entities

• Oversee FX consolidation, covenant reporting, and group cashflow forecasting

• Take the lead on external audit and ensure compliance with IFRS and regulatory standards

• Manage corporate tax compliance and oversee group transfer pricing

• Support post-acquisition accounting and alignment across entities

• Maintain and improve financial systems – including ownership of NetSuite and reporting tools

The Ideal Candidate:

You’ll be a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or equivalent) with significant post-qualification experience in senior-level roles. A track record of operating in complex, multi-entity international businesses is essential, alongside hands-on experience in:

• Group consolidation and reporting (both statutory and management)

• Leading and developing finance teams

• Managing audits, tax compliance, and transfer pricing in a global context

• Driving structure and improvement across systems and reporting processes

Strong systems experience (NetSuite ideal), a collaborative mindset, and a steady, proactive approach will all be important.

This opportunity is being managed exclusively by Distinct.
