Apointe have been instructed to appoint a Head of Financial Control for a highly respected organisation operating in a complex, fast-paced environment.

- Overseeing statutory reporting, external audit, and regulatory compliance.
- Leading treasury activities, including cash flow management and banking relationships.

- Driving finance transformation, systems improvements, and process optimisation.
- Supporting and coaching managers to build capability across the wider finance function.
- Partnering with senior finance leadership to deliver a best-in-class finance operation.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Just as importantly, you're someone who leads with humility. You build trust quickly, enjoy developing others, and bring positive energy to the teams around you. You're equally comfortable discussing technical accounting matters, coaching your managers, or rolling your sleeves up when needed.
We're not simply looking for a technically strong accountant. We're looking for an authentic leader, someone who combines sound judgement, humility, and strong interpersonal skills with the credibility to lead a modern finance function.
