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.
