Equifind is working with a well-established private equity firm, managing billions in capital, on their search for a Head of Financial Control.

This investor has a strong global footprint and a solid track record of delivering returns for their institutional investor base. They manage a broad and diverse portfolio of assets across the globe.

In this role, you'll sit at the heart of the finance team, owning financial control processes, keeping reporting accurate, and making sure everything stays compliant with regulatory standards. It's a good mix of strategic input, hands-on financial oversight, and team leadership.

What will I be doing?

• Redesign and implement financial control frameworks, policies, and internal audit procedures to safeguard data integrity and ensure GAAP/IFRS compliance
• Own the monthly close process, reviewing consolidated financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) for accuracy against reconciliations and variance analysis
• Lead external audit cycles end to end, managing PBC lists, walkthroughs, and remediation of findings with auditors
• Build and monitor risk controls across financial transactions and reporting, identifying exposure and implementing mitigation frameworks
• Manage and upskill the financial control team through technical training, performance reviews, and career development planning
• Partner with senior leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling to inform strategic decisions
