Suffolk | 3-6 Month Contract | Day Rate / Fixed-Term Considered

NXTGEN are working exclusively with a well-established business seeking an experienced Interim Financial Controller to provide immediate leadership to the finance function during a critical period.

This isn't a role where you'll simply keep the seat warm. You'll be joining at a key point in the financial calendar, taking ownership of the year-end process, leading the external audit and ensuring the finance function continues to operate effectively while longer-term plans are put in place.

We're looking for someone who has been there before. Someone who can quickly understand a business, build credibility with stakeholders and deliver without requiring months to get up to speed.

The Role

You'll take responsibility for the day-to-day finance function whilst leading several business-critical priorities, including:

• Leading the year-end close and managing the external audit from planning through to completion.
• Acting as the main point of contact for auditors, ensuring information is delivered accurately and on time.
• Reviewing financial controls, balance sheet reconciliations and statutory reporting requirements.
• Supporting and mentoring the finance team, providing clear direction during a busy period.
• Working closely with senior leadership, providing financial insight and ensuring key deadlines are achieved.
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and strengthen financial controls where appropriate.
• Supporting wider finance projects as required.

About You

We're looking for an experienced Financial Controller who can hit the ground running.

You'll ideally be:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified.
• An experienced Interim Financial Controller or Finance Manager with previous responsibility for leading external audits.
• Confident managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Comfortable working with senior stakeholders across the business.
• Hands-on, commercially minded and happy to roll your sleeves up when required.
• Available to start at short notice or within the coming weeks.
• Experience within SAAS would be a great advantage 
• Previous experience stepping into businesses during periods of change, supporting year-end or stabilising finance functions would be highly advantageous.

If you're an experienced Interim Financial Controller looking for your next assignment where you can genuinely add value from day one, we'd love to hear from you.
