I'm partnering with a leading international business to appoint an experienced Interim Financial Controller to support its French operations during a period of transformation and growth.
This is an immediate requirement and would suit a qualified accountant who is comfortable stepping into a fast-paced, international environment and taking ownership from day one.

- Working closely with FP&A and wider finance stakeholders
- Partnering with teams across Payroll, HR and the wider business
- Supporting the business through an ongoing finance restructure and period of change
- Identifying opportunities to improve existing processes and ways of working
- Providing strong financial oversight within a fast-paced international environment
