3 Month Interim Contract

£400-£500 per day (Inside IR35)

South West London - Hybrid Working

We're supporting a fast-growing consumer brand that is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Finance Business Partner on an interim basis to provide critical support during a period of transition.

This is a highly visible role sitting at the intersection of finance and commercial operations, partnering closely with key stakeholders across Marketing, Merchandising, and Operations. The successful candidate will combine strong commercial acumen with a willingness to remain hands-on, ensuring continuity across both business partnering and core finance activities.

This is not a purely strategic role. We're looking for someone who can move seamlessly between commercial discussions and the detail of month-end reporting, analysis, and financial control.

The Role

Reporting into senior finance leadership, you will act as a trusted business partner to multiple departments while supporting the day-to-day operation of the finance function.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner closely with Marketing, Merchandising, and Operations teams to provide financial insight and commercial support
• Own and support month-end close activities, including journals, accruals, prepayments, and management reporting
• Deliver trading analysis, performance reporting, and profitability reviews to support business decision-making
• Prepare and deliver meaningful financial analysis, highlighting trends, risks, and opportunities
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and reforecasting processes across multiple business functions
• Challenge and influence stakeholders to improve commercial performance and cost control
• Produce clear management information and reporting packs for senior leadership
• Monitor key trading and operational KPIs, providing actionable recommendations
• Support cash flow visibility and working capital management where required
• Assist with ad-hoc finance projects and process improvements during the transition period

What We're Looking For

• Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
• Proven experience in a Senior Finance Business Partner, Commercial Finance Manager, or FP&A role
• Strong month-end, management reporting, and financial analysis experience
• Strong commercial finance background within retail, consumer, e-commerce, or multi-channel businesses
• Comfortable operating both strategically and hands-on within the finance function
• Excellent stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence senior leaders
• Advanced Excel skills and strong financial modelling capability
• Available immediately

Why Join?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a fast-paced consumer business in a highly visible finance role. You'll gain exposure to senior stakeholders, influence commercial decision-making, and play a key role in maintaining continuity during an important period for the organisation.
