Job Specifications

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Interim Finance Analyst to join a dynamic and evolving organisation on an initial three-month project basis, with a strong focus on Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A). This is a key role for a fully qualified finance professional who thrives on improving legacy processes and driving best practice, with the chance to make a real impact by influencing change and enhancing reporting capabilities. It will pay a daily rate of up to £450.
This organisation has a number of legacy processes and reports that need refining. Reporting directly to the Head of FP&A, and working outside of Business As Usual (BAU) activities, you'll play a crucial role in breaking down existing practices, understanding systems and reporting, and implementing FP&A best practice. You'll check in weekly with the Head of FP&A to track progress and ensure alignment.
As the Interim Finance Analyst, your role will involve:
Understanding current processes, including income processing and cashflow management, and transforming them into FP&A best practice.
Reviewing and deconstructing existing reports and macros, reverse-engineering them to streamline and remove unnecessary elements.
Producing high-quality reports and ensuring strong financial analysis to support decision-making.
Collaborating closely with the team of three, including two business partners and a financial & reporting accountant, to align on process improvements.
Influencing change by identifying inefficiencies and driving best practice across systems, reporting, and processes.
Bringing energy and resilience, challenging established ways of working and encouraging innovation.
Ideally, showing enthusiasm for AI and digital tools to enhance financial processes.
The ideal Finance Analyst will:
Be a fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
Have substantial experience in an FP&A function, with a clear understanding of best practice and business partnering.
Demonstrate a strong understanding of finance systems and processes, with the ability to slice and dice data and provide meaningful analysis.
Be comfortable working with Excel (including advanced functions and macros) and Google Suite.
Have a collaborative and engaging approach, with the confidence to challenge the status quo and influence stakeholders.
Possess excellent problem-solving skills, with a can-do attitude and the resilience to drive change in a tough environment.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a finance analyst or management accountant with business partnering experience to step into a role where they can genuinely shape and improve processesand reporting. If you are ready to take on a challenging and rewarding role where your expertise and drive will make a real difference, we want to hear from you.
