Details:

• 9-12 month interim contract, with potential for extension
• Competitive daily rate
• Bristol Based - Hybrid Working
• Immediate start available; interviews taking place shortly

This is a hands-on, build-from-scratch role suited to someone who thrives in change environments and enjoys getting into the detail of forecasting, modelling, and process improvement.

The Role:

• Working alongside the existing Financial Controller to implement new group-standard reporting and forecasting processes
• Designing and rolling out a monthly MI pack, variance analysis, and gross margin analysis by revenue stream
• Implementing a weekly sales/KPI report
• Building a 13-week rolling cash flow forecast for group submission, with a focus on improving cash collection and forecasting inputs
• Developing a full group model (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) for budgeting and forecasting, where currently only a P&L budget exists
• Implementing monthly capex forecasting and an EBITDA risks and opportunities forecast
• Driving improvements to month-end close to align with group deadlines
• Supporting an ERP migration to a new finance system, working with an external project team
• Supporting year-end audit preparation, stat pack production, and corporation tax pack for external advisors
• Reviewing and proposing improvements to nominal/cost centre coding to support new reporting requirements

About You:

• Proven experience in a finance integration, transformation, or "first-in" subsidiary role within a wider group
• Strong forecasting, modelling, and process improvement skills, with the ability to build new processes from limited existing infrastructure
• Commercially astute, with the confidence to business partner directly with operational stakeholders
• Experience with modern ERP systems (e.g. Microsoft Business Central or D365) is desirable
• A proactive, "can-do" approach, with the emotional intelligence to manage change sensitively within an existing finance team
