Interim Finance Professional - #2195083

A growing, innovative business is seeking an experienced finance professional to provide critical support during a period of finance transformation and process improvement.

The successful candidate will be someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, taking ownership and contributing ideas, rather than simply processing transactions.

Client Details

The organisation operates in the Technology & Telecoms industry in Leeds.

Description

• Oversee the day-to-day Accounts Payable function and ensure smooth operation of finance processes.
• Support month-end activities including journals, reconciliations, accruals and prepayments.
• Assist with preparing information from trial balance through to management reporting level.
• Support finance transformation initiatives, systems improvements and process redesign projects.
• Maintain strong financial controls and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Work closely with senior finance stakeholders, taking ownership of key tasks to free up leadership capacity for project delivery.
• Provide insight, challenge and suggestions based on previous experience of effective finance functions.
• Support business-as-usual activities while contributing to longer-term improvements.

Profile

This role would suit someone who is looking for more than a typical transactional finance position.

You'll likely have:

AAT qualified or studying towards a professional finance qualification

Strong Accounts Payable experience combined with broader finance exposure

Experience supporting month-end processes, journals and balance sheet reconciliations

The ability to work from detailed transactional activity through to management accounting support

Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables, lookups and data analysis

Experience within growing, changing or entrepreneurial businesses

A proactive mindset and willingness to suggest improvements

Strong communication skills and confidence working with senior stakeholders

We're particularly interested in candidates who:

• Have seen what "good" looks like in a finance function and can bring those ideas into a growing business.
• Are comfortable operating independently and picking things up quickly.
• Enjoy solving problems and improving processes.
• Can act as a trusted sounding board for finance leadership.
• Are naturally curious and commercially aware.
• Thrive in an environment where priorities evolve and change happens quickly.
• This is unlikely to suit someone looking for a highly structured, narrowly defined position. Success in the role will come from being adaptable, taking initiative and making a positive impact from day one.

Job Offer

• Exposure to finance transformation and systems implementation projects.
• Opportunity to work closely with senior stakeholders.
• Varied role combining operational finance and project support.
• Fast-moving, collaborative and ambitious culture.
• Hourly pay of £16 to £20, dependent on the level of experience.
