A leading property developer in the Midlands is looking to appoint an experienced Interim Finance Business Partner to support their development and construction divisions during a critical transitional period.

• Business partnering with project managers and senior stakeholders to assess financial performance, monitor cash flow, and track project milestones.

• Collaborating with the central finance team to ensure accurate accounting and timely reporting.
• Supporting the implementation of improved financial processes and controls to increase transparency and accountability.

The successful candidate:

• A qualified accountant with a strong track record as a finance business partner, ideally within property development, housing, or construction.
• Advanced Excel skills, and experience with industry-specific systems such as ProVal or equivalent.
• Commercially minded with the ability to interpret complex financial data and present it clearly to non-finance stakeholders.
• A self-starter who is comfortable working in a dynamic and evolving environment.

This is an excellent opportunity to add value in a high-profile role within a well-respected organisation. The team is friendly, collaborative, and passionate about the work they do — and they’re looking to appoint quickly.
