Financial Controller Up to £90,000 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.
