Business Manager - Interim Finance Specialist (Qualified and Senior Level)

Gleeson are delighted to be working on behalf of a well-established, fast-paced services business near Swadlincote to appoint an Interim Management Accountant for a short-term assignment running until mid-August. This is a key role, supporting the finance team during a busy trading period and offering immediate impact across the month-end cycle and reporting processes.

We're looking for a proactive, hands-on finance professional with strong commercial acumen and a solid technical foundation - someone who can confidently hit the ground running, work collaboratively with stakeholders, and provide high-quality insights from day one.

Assignment Overview:

• Producing accurate and timely monthly management accounts with commentary on financial performance, cash position, and key metrics.
• Completing reconciliations and supporting month-end close, including preparation of working papers and variance analysis.
• Managing intercompany postings and overseeing P&L activity for various entities within the group.
• Assisting with FX revaluations and financial reporting around revenue, margins, and trading performance.
• Working closely with internal teams to ensure accurate billing and receivables, particularly around partner channels.
• Supporting department heads with clear, easy-to-understand reporting packs to help drive accountability and performance.
• Contributing to audit readiness and assisting with any ad hoc financial reporting needs during the assignment.
• Acting as a point of support for junior finance staff and reviewing their outputs when required.

The Ideal Candidate:

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) with strong academics is essential.
• Demonstrable experience in a similar role within a fast-paced, dynamic business environment.
• Strong Excel skills and confident working with large sets of data.
• A self-starter attitude with excellent attention to detail and communication skills.
• Previous experience in a private equity or multi-entity business would be advantageous but not essential.
• Ideally available to start within the next 2 weeks – immediately available candidates are preferred due to the urgent nature of the role.

The Offer:

• Day rate equivalent to £50,000 – £60,000 salary, depending on experience
• Interim contract until mid-August (inside IR35 or on payroll)
• Hybrid working and flexible hours (3 days in office, 2 days from home)
• Chance to make a real difference in a collaborative finance team

Please don't hesitate to apply if you live within a reasonable commute to the wider Swadlincote area, are a fully qualified accountant, and are able to commit fully to the assignment until mid-to-late August! We look forward to hearing from you.
