A high-growth, PE-backed group is seeking an experienced Interim Group Finance professional to provide hands-on leadership and technical oversight through a period of change and continued expansion.

 

The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the CFO, you’ll take ownership of Group financial reporting, consolidation, and compliance, ensuring accuracy, control, and insight across a complex, multi-entity environment. Working closely with divisional FDs, auditors, and the PE sponsors, you’ll provide confidence and rigour at Group level while supporting systems and process improvement.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee preparation of statutory accounts under IFRS and manage the year-end audit process.

  • Maintain and enhance the Group control framework, accounting policies, and reporting standards.

  • Support PE stakeholders with investment and lender reporting, covenant tracking, and ad hoc analysis.

  • Partner with the CFO on integration, systems enhancement (e.g. NetSuite / SAP / Workday), and finance transformation initiatives.

  • Provide leadership and technical guidance to a small UK-based team.

 

About You

  • ACA-qualified, ideally Big 4 or top-tier trained, with significant post-qualified experience in group or divisional finance.

  • Proven success in multi-entity consolidation, IFRS reporting, and technical accounting leadership.

  • Experience in PE-backed or high-growth, international businesses.

  • A blend of technical depth and hands-on execution; confident operating in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

  • Immediate or short-term availability preferred.
