Interim Senior Finance Manager | High-Growth D2C Subscription Business | London/Hybrid
Harmonic are delighted to be partnering with a high-growth, investor-backed D2C subscription business in their search for an Interim Senior Finance Manager on a 6 month contract, who has strong experience owning month-end and leading an external audit.
The business has scaled quickly to a team of several hundred and handles a high volume of customer payments. With the year-end audit approaching, they need an experienced finance professional to keep financial control tight and lead the audit preparation, providing cover while a permanent appointment is made.
This opportunity will suit someone with strong technical accounting and audit experience who is happy to be hands-on, cares about controls and process, and can get up to speed quickly.
The Role
Working closely with the Director of Finance and the FP&A team, you will own the month-end close, day-to-day finance operations and the preparation for the year-end audit. You will manage the Finance Assistant and take a handover from the current Finance Manager.

- Lead the pre-audit preparation over the coming weeks, then support or lead the external audit from February

- Prepare the group consolidation, working with the FP&A team
- Keep on top of compliance, including VAT and maintaining the cap table with the outsourced accountants
- Strengthen financial controls and close out open audit recommendations
- Find manual steps in finance processes and remove them, using systems and AI tools

- Fully qualified accountant with audit training (ACA or CA preferred)
- Experience as a Finance Manager, Senior Finance Manager or Financial Controller, with ownership of the month-end close
