Interim Financial Controller | £400-£450 per day | 3+ Months | SAP S/4HANA | Selby
Are you an experienced Financial Controller with hands-on SAP S/4HANA experience? If you enjoy coming into a business during a period of change, getting stuck into financial accounting, strengthening the balance sheet, and helping deliver major transformation projects, this could be an excellent interim opportunity.
We're partnering with a growing business in the Selby area that is entering a significant period of change. The business is in the middle of an SAP S/4HANA implementation, with go-live planned for November, while also preparing for the launch of a new facility next year.
They need an experienced Interim Financial Controller who can provide immediate support to the CFO, help stabilise the finance function, and play a key role in delivering the next phase of the business's transformation.
The Role
This is a hands-on Financial Controller role with a strong focus on financial accounting, balance sheet integrity, systems implementation, and supporting the wider finance transformation.
Reporting directly to the CFO, you'll provide an experienced pair of hands during a period of significant change.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Supporting the SAP S/4HANA implementation and preparing the finance function for go-live
- Taking ownership of financial accounting and balance sheet activity
- Reviewing and strengthening balance sheet controls and reconciliations
- Supporting the wider finance team through a period of change
- Helping implement new processes and ways of working
- Supporting the CFO with wider transformation projects
- Preparing the finance function for future growth and increased operational complexity
- Providing hands-on Financial Controller support across the business as required
Hybrid, with 2-3 days on-site required
This is not a role for someone who wants to sit back and simply oversee the numbers. You'll be coming into a relatively lean finance team and will need to quickly understand what needs doing, take ownership, and get stuck in.
What We're Looking For
The key requirement is hands-on SAP S/4HANA experience. You'll ideally have:
- Previous Financial Controller experience
- Experience working with SAP S/4HANA
- Strong financial accounting and balance sheet experience
- Experience improving processes and controls
- The ability to operate independently during periods of change
- A hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up approach
- Strong stakeholder management skills

- Play a key role in an SAP S/4HANA implementation
- Work directly alongside a newly appointed CFO
- Help shape the finance function during a major period of transformation
- Broad role spanning financial accounting, controls, systems, and process improvement
- Opportunity to support a business as it enters a new phase operationally
- Potential for the role to develop into a longer-term or permanent opportunity
