Interim Senior Finance Manager (Audit Lead) | VC Backed Technology Scale-Up | London/Remote
Harmonic is delighted to be working with a VC-backed technology platform business that has scaled quickly and is now a multi-entity group, having grown through M&A. Revenue is circa £45m. The group is heading into audit and needing a strong, technical accountant to lead and be hands on with leading the business through this process.
The Role
This is an interim engagement to own audit readiness and then run the audit day to day. You will be taking full ownership of the group audit: audit readiness first, then running the audit day to day and managing the auditors through to sign off. You will be building the workplan, then breaking the work up and directing it into the existing finance team. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a quick impact at a rapidly scaling scale-up.
