Interim Head of Accounting
London (Hybrid) | Immediate Start | c. £100k-115k FTC | Potential Temp-to-Perm
I’m supporting a high-growth, investor backed international technology business with the appointment of an Interim Head of Accounting.
This is a senior, hands-on role within a scaling finance function, with broad responsibility across accounting, controls, reporting and operational finance. The successful candidate will work closely with senior leadership, including Board-level stakeholders and General Managers, while remaining close to the detail and comfortable owning core finance processes directly.
The business has a complex international footprint and operates across recurring software revenues alongside physical products, creating a varied accounting environment spanning US GAAP, revenue recognition, inventory and multi-entity reporting.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and strengthen core accounting and financial control processes across the business
- Own month-end, year-end and statutory reporting requirements
- Support US entity accounting and ensure compliance with US GAAP
- Oversee revenue recognition across recurring software revenues, hardware and bundled offerings
- Manage inventory, cost accounting and related operational finance processes
- Improve financial controls, reporting processes and finance infrastructure as the business scales
- Partner closely with Board members, General Managers and senior operational stakeholders
- Support budgeting, forecasting and commercial decision-making where required
- Drive process improvement, automation and systems enhancement
- Remain hands-on across key accounting issues while providing senior-level finance leadership
