An established and growing organisation is seeking a seasoned interim finance professional to support a critical period of transformation and planning. This is a high-impact role, suited to someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and can quickly bring structure, insight, and clarity to financial processes.

Working closely with senior finance leadership, you will play a key role in building and embedding a robust budgeting and forecasting framework, while also providing hands-on support across broader financial management activities.

The Role:

You will take ownership of forward-looking financial planning, including annual budgeting, quarterly forecasts, and rolling reforecasts. A core focus will be designing and implementing high-quality financial models that support strategic decision-making and provide clear visibility of business performance.

Alongside FP&A responsibilities, you will support core financial reporting processes ensuring accuracy, compliance, and alignment with accounting standards while contributing to continuous improvement across systems and reporting.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the development of integrated 3-way financial models (P&L, cash flow, balance sheet)
• Deliver budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning cycles
• Provide insightful analysis on performance, risks, and opportunities
• Produce high-quality reporting packs and presentations for senior stakeholders
• Build and enhance dashboards and data visualisation tools to support decision-making
• Drive automation and improvements in reporting processes and systems
• Support month-end and year-end close processes, ensuring accuracy and completeness
• Oversee key areas such as balance sheet integrity, cashflow, and technical compliance
• Collaborate with wider teams to ensure alignment between financial planning and operational delivery

About You:

• You are a qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) with significant interim experience operating at a senior level. You bring a strong blend of technical accounting expertise and commercial insight, with the ability to step into complex environments and make an immediate impact.
• Youll have advanced analytical capabilities, with strong experience in data manipulation and visualisation tools (particularly Power BI), and the ability to translate complex financial information into clear, actionable insights for non-finance stakeholders.
• Comfortable working both strategically and hands-on, you are proactive, adaptable, and confident engaging with senior leadership. xwzovoh
