Interim Group Financial Controller

I'm delighted to be partnering exclusively with a fast-growing business who develop and operate some of the UK's most innovative projects.

This is to appoint a Group Financial Controller on a 15-month fixed-term contract. Based in Harrogate, 4 days per week.

This is an excellent chance to join a company where the team truly cares about each other's development, wellbeing, and success - and where you'll immediately feel part of something special.

This role will play a pivotal part in shaping the finance function during a period of growth and future investment planning.

You'll be joining a collaborative environment where everyone pulls together. The finance team is tight-knit and hands-on and they're looking for someone who shares that energy. You'll have exposure to UK and international operations, work closely with senior leadership, and take the lead on both day-to-day group accounting and strategic projects that will influence the future direction of the business.

As Group Financial Controller, you will:

• Oversee and manage all accounting across a complex UK and overseas group structure
• Review financial paperwork, statements, and submissions
• Support and develop the finance team
• Take a hands-on approach across the function
• Lead or support on due diligence work streams
• Be involved in funding discussions and financial projects tied to longer-term investment plans
• Contribute to strategic work as the business positions itself for the future

We're looking for someone who brings:

• Hands-on group accounting experience within a complex structure
• Strong people leadership skills
• Experience in transactions, due diligence, or investment-related projects (desirable but not essential)
• A proactive, collaborative, team-focused mindset

If you are available to start a new contract in February 2026, please send over your CV to Niamh Hellewell at HW Finance.
