Interim Financial Controller

Description:

Axon Moore are currently recruiting for an Interim Financial Controller to bring order, rigour and pace to a month-end process — and to get it fit for purpose ahead of a new finance systems implementation.

This is a genuinely varied role. You'll be joining a fast paced and growing business in Halesowen and you will have real ownership to rebuild the month end process. If you enjoy rolling your sleeves up, fixing what's broken, and then building something scalable, this is for you.

The Role

Month-end clean-up & rebuild

Own the monthly management accounts, including P&L, balance sheet and cash flow reporting
Manage balance sheet reconciliations and ensure all control accounts are fully reconciled monthly
Review and overhaul the current month-end close process, identifying inefficiencies, bottlenecks and control gaps
Design and document a streamlined, repeatable close timetable with clear ownership and deadlines
Standardise journals, accruals, prepayments and reconciliations to a consistent, audit-ready standard
Work closely with the wider finance team to prepare processes and data structures ahead of the upcoming systems implementation
Act as a key finance stakeholder in the system implementation project, ensuring new processes are built with month-end efficiency in mind
About You
