Internal Control Analyst

Internal Controls Analyst

Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire | Hybrid (2–3 Days in Office) | Up to £65,000 + Bonus

Baker Charles is partnering with a large, international private equity-backed business to recruit an Internal Controls Analyst. Following a significant private equity transaction earlier this year, the business is developing its financial controls function, creating an opportunity to help shape the control environment across the Group.

This role would suit an ACA-qualified accountant looking to make their first move from practice into industry, or someone with existing internal controls experience seeking broader responsibilities within a global organisation.

Reporting to the Head of Financial Control, you will work with international finance teams to assess controls, identify risks and improve processes. The position offers exposure to senior finance stakeholders, involvement in developing the controls framework and occasional international travel.

The business is looking for someone pragmatic, personable and commercially minded, who can build relationships and develop practical solutions rather than simply follow a controls testing program.

Key responsibilities:

• Review financial control evidence submitted by international finance teams
• Perform controls testing, identifying risks, weaknesses and areas for improvement
• Partner with finance stakeholders to understand processes and strengthen controls
• Support the development and enhancement of financial control frameworks
• Recommend improvements and monitor remediation of identified deficiencies
• Conduct control reviews across international business locations
• Support risk assessments, control self-assessments and governance activities
• Contribute to process improvement and automation initiatives
• Undertake occasional international travel for on-site reviews

You will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA), ideally with experience in audit or accountancy practice. Alternatively, you may already be working in an internal controls or risk and controls role within industry. You will have a good understanding of financial controls, governance, risk management and IFRS.

Strong communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, alongside the confidence to challenge constructively, exercise judgement and work independently. Experience of listed or private equity-backed businesses, internal audit or GRC systems would be advantageous.

The role is based in Hertfordshire with hybrid working, requiring 2–3 days per week in the office. Due to the office location, access to a car would be advantageous.
