High-Level Overview 

The client, a private investment firm, is seeking an experienced Interim Financial Controller to support the fund’s back-office finance function during a critical year-end and reporting period. The role will work closely with fund leadership and a third-party CFO service provider, with a clear mandate to deliver quarterly and year-end reporting, resolve statutory issues, and establish repeatable finance processes. The engagement is time-bound and execution-focused, with a clear emphasis on delivery rather than long-term finance leadership responsibilities.
