Interim Financial Controller
Distinct is supporting our client through a critical period within Group Finance, requiring a highly hands–on Financial Controller to act as a true number two to the Group FC.
The business is a listed, multi–site organisation with offices in Leicester, offering a hybrid working model of three days on–site and the remainder from home.
This role will focus on stabilisation, control, and delivery rather than transformation. It's a standalone role with a strong focus on getting into the details.
The contract will run until the end of 2026.
You will:
- Step into an environment where processes aren't fully defined and bring structure quickly
- Take ownership of balance sheet integrity, reconciliations, and group reporting support
- Support consolidations, statutory reporting, and audit queries
- Provide technical accounting guidance (including IFRS 16 and complex areas)
- Work closely with a junior team, offering day–to–day direction and improving output quality
- Identify and remediate control gaps, restoring discipline across finance processes
- Support ERP/system activity, including data validation and process alignment
- Act as a key problem solver, unblocking issues and keeping reporting on track
- Rebuild control, consistency, and confidence in reporting
- Ensure the business is in a stronger position ahead of year–end
About you:
- Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
- Strong background in financial control and reporting (IFRS 16)
- Proven experience operating in complex, fast–paced, or multi–site environments
- Confident in technical accounting and audit support
- Experience supporting ERP or system changes
- Comfortable working with incomplete information and ambiguity
