## About this task

This electronics manufacturer supplying medical devices (501–1,000 employees) is looking for a director Fractional Controller for a monthly bundle of recurring tasks, 12–24 h a month. The schedules and support an auditor requests, ready before fieldwork starts.

The company wants one reliable owner for a list of small jobs instead of five different people. It manufactures physical products, and the office team works to month-end and plant schedules.

The team sits in Bedford. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. Evenings or weekends are fine, as long as the agreed weekly output is there. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (UK time).

## What you deliver

- Prepare the PBC list for a year-end audit: fixed assets, accruals, debt, equity and revenue schedules.

- The monthly list of items completed, each with a link to the result

- A named list of items moved to next month, so nothing is lost

- A month-end summary with hours used against the cap

## What a month looks like

- Week 1: intake call and a list of what is due this month

- Weeks 2 and 3: items completed in short sessions

- Week 4: month-end summary and the list for next month

**Duration:** 8 weeks, with a monthly hours cap. Accepted after the walkthrough. Edits requested within three working days are part of the price.

## Tools

Excel NetSuite Google Drive

## Who fits

- 10-15 years of hands-on work as a Fractional Controller, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in Excel, NetSuite and Google Drive

- A professional qualification is required for any sign-off; the company keeps the final signature, you prepare and review.

- Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate

### Nice to have

- Experience in a similar industry

- A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late

## Not included

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

- Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately

- A signature or opinion in your own name: sign-off stays with the company

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in GBP after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.
