You will need to be naturally inquisitive and comfortable getting into the detail, while retaining the ability to step back and consider the bigger picture. This person will need to be able to move between reviewing an individual transaction or process and advising the CEO on what the future operating model for finance should look like. Experience within FMCG, consumer products, retail or another product-led environment would be highly advantageous, particularly where there are elements of stock, order processing, fulfilment and multiple sales channels. Exposure to a challenger brand, entrepreneurial SME, founder-led or fast-growth business would also be particularly relevant.

Interim Financial Controller World-Leading VC Fund Central London The Client Harmonic is delighted to be partnering with one of Europe's leading venture capital funds, a backer of some of the most recognisable technology companies of the last decade. Investing across the late-stage startup and scale-up market, they have built an exceptional reputation and a portfolio to match. This is a rare opportunity to sit inside the finance function of a world-class investor during a busy and high-profile period, on an initial 6-month basis covering a period of parental leave. The Role Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a genuine financial controller role running the day-to-day finance operations of the management company; this is not a fund accounting position. You will own the control environment and reporting for the group entities, working closely with investors, fund finance, compliance and the wider team. The CFO is deliberately hands-off on day-to-day matters, so this suits someone who can operate independently from day one, hold the control environment steady and get stuck into the detail.
