Financial Controller

Up to GBP90,000 per annum 12–month FTC Immediate Start

Altum Consulting are partnering with a well–established consumer business to recruit an experienced Financial Controller for a 12–month FTC.

This is a hands–on Group role with ownership of monthly financial reporting, controls and the integrity of the numbers. You'll be responsible for producing robust monthly accounts, maintaining a strong controls environment and ensuring reporting is compliant with Group accounting policies and IFRS.

We're looking for someone who has already stepped into an FC–level role. You'll need strong technical foundations, Group–level experience and the confidence to review the detail rather than simply oversee the process.

Key responsibilities:

• Own the delivery and review of accurate monthly management accounts.

• Lead detailed reviews of the financials, including variance analysis against budget and prior year.

• Maintain a robust financial control environment and ensure compliance with IFRS and Group accounting policies.

• Review key balance sheet reconciliations and accounting entries.

• Lead month–end reporting, commentary and analysis.

• Improve the month–end close, with a focus on efficiency, automation and reducing reporting timelines.

• Lead the year–end audit and manage queries through to resolution.

• Support accounting changes arising from projects and wider business developments.

• Manage and develop a team.

What we're looking for:

• Big 4 trained, ACA or CA qualified

• Previous experience operating as a Financial Controller

• Strong Group–level reporting experience

• A few years of post–qualified experience within industry, including experience operating in the UK market

• Strong technical accounting knowledge, particularly IFRS

• Confident across month–end, financial controls, audit and balance sheet review

• Previous team management experience

• Someone comfortable joining a new business and getting up to speed quickly

• Available immediately or at short notice
