Interim Finance, Private Equity and PE-Backed Business

Intro
Cedar is currently partnered with a fast-growing, PE-backed international business to secure an Interim Financial Controller based in London. The role is a 4-month initial contract, outside IR35, with a hybrid working model.

The Company
This high-growth global business operates across the globe and is undergoing a significant finance transformation. Backed by ambitious investors, the organisation is expanding rapidly through acquisition and international growth, offering a dynamic, fast-paced, and evolving environment.

The Role
As Interim Financial Controller, reporting to the Group Financial Controller, you will take ownership of improving and embedding balance sheet controls across a complex, multi-entity group.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading a group-wide review and remediation programme for balance sheet reconciliations
  • Owning monthly balance sheet reporting, ensuring robust controls and resolution of reconciling items
  • Rolling out governance frameworks, documentation standards, and financial control policies
  • Partnering with regional controllers to identify risks and embed best practices
  • Managing improvement projects across intercompany, fixed assets, accruals, and working capital
  • Liaising with Group Technical Accounting and Consolidation teams to align accounting treatments
  • Ensuring audit readiness through complete reconciliations and supporting schedules
  • Identifying opportunities for automation and collaborating with process owners to reduce manual tasks

Your Profile
You will ideally bring:

  • A strong background in financial control within complex, multinational environments
  • Proven experience owning or remediating balance sheet processes and controls
  • Technical strength, ideally with IFRS and audit experience
  • Confidence engaging with auditors, regional finance teams, and senior leadership
  • A hands-on, analytical mindset with the ability to drive improvements in a fast-paced setting

Compensation & Benefits
This role offers the chance to make a measurable impact within a global business at a critical point in its finance transformation. Based in Central London, with hybrid working (in-office Tuesday-Thursday). You'll join a collaborative and agile finance team delivering tangible change.
