Fractional Financial Controller | VC-Backed SaaS Scale-Up | London / Hybrid | Part-Time (3 Days Per Week) | 6 Month contract
The Client
Harmonic are delighted to be working exclusively with a VC-backed subscription tech scale-up to find an Interim Financial Controller. The business is going through a period of significant change, with finance leadership remits expanding and real ownership on offer for the right person. This is a genuinely broad brief in a business where you will see the direct impact of your work.
The Role
This is a six-month interim engagement, initially three days per week, with scope to flex depending on business needs. Reporting into the senior finance leader, this is a broad position where you will not only own the financial control side of the function: month-end close, management accounts, and preparation for the annual audit, which kicks off in mid-August. You will also sit close to commercial finance, working with the commercial team on KPI reporting and business partnering across the business. This is a hands-on role in a fast-moving environment.
