Group Financial Controller -Immediate Start-Interimto Perm £400-500 per day (inside IR35) or £100k FTC

We are partnering with a private equity backed high growth international insurance platform operating a multi-entity, specialty lines model. The business has scaled rapidly through a buy-and-build strategy, combining organic growth with strategic acquisitions, and continues to expand across multiple jurisdictions.

With strong backing and ambitious growth plans, the Group offers a fast paced high performing but genuinely collaborative culture. This is an environment where pace is intense, expectations are high, but teams are well supported and engaged - making it both challenging and highly rewarding.

This is a 6-month interim to permanent (or FTC to perm) opportunity, reporting to the Finance Director, with full ownership of the finance operations and responsibility for leading and developing a well-established team.

• Lead and oversee the group financial control function across a multi-entity, multi-currency environment.
• Own and enhance the month end close, controls and reporting processes.
• Partner the F and M A activity, including integration of newly acquired businesses.
• Drive improvements in data quality, processes, controls and scalability as the business grows.
• Support delivery of timely, high quality reporting to senior leadership, investors and lenders.
• Act as a true leader of the finance function, developing capability and driving performance across the team.
• Contribute to wider commercial, operational and transformation initiatives.

• Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA or equivalent) with 10+ years PQE.
• Ideally trained in practice with strong technical foundations.
• Experience in a buy-and-build/M & A environment, ideally within insurance, broking or financial services.
• Proven team leadership experience - this is a leadership role, not a hands on “doer” position.
• Comfortable operating in a high growth, fast paced PE backed environment.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and a solution oriented mindset.
