Interim Site Controller

Are you a qualified, hands-on Site Controller with a strong SME background and a passion for driving change? Do you thrive in challenging environments where your expertise in finance, controls, and leadership can make a real difference? If so, this could be the perfect interim opportunity for you.

The Role:

We're seeking an experienced Interim Site Controller to join our team in Barnsley on a six-month contract. This is a fully on-site position, requiring a dynamic professional who can lead, support, and improve a finance function undergoing significant change.

You'll be expected to:

• Challenge and validate the work of management accountants to ensure accuracy, data integrity, and quality reporting.
• Apply your financial accounting and management accounting expertise to provide reliable insight and control.
• Develop and implement robust financial controls in a historically low-control environment, driving process improvement and efficiency.
• Provide mentorship, guidance, and support to a team of junior finance staff, uplifting capability and confidence.
• Partner with the business and group stakeholders, ensuring reporting is accurate, timely, and insightful.
• Navigate and support through a significant change environment, using your experience to lead from the front.
• Operate with a can-do attitude, acting independently and confidently to move the finance function forward.

What We're Looking For:

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA).
• Proven background in developing and embedding strong financial controls.
• Experience across financial accounting, management accounting, and business partnering.
• A strong SME background, ideally having worked as a standalone or site finance manager.
• Demonstrated success in significant change environments, bringing clarity and stability.
• A self-starter with a proactive approach and the ability to act with autonomy.
• A practical, hands-on leader who knows what "good" looks like and can drive the function toward that standard.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who has extensive hands on interim experience-someone confident, capable, and ready to make a difference from day one.
