Interim Projects Finance Controller

3-6 Month Contract | FTC or equivalent day rate | West Yorkshire

This is not a holding role.

It’s a hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up interim opportunity for a qualified accountant who enjoys variety, pace, and getting close to the business.

You’ll be embedded on site within a well-established, multi-entity group, supporting a key operating location while also contributing to wider group initiatives. The brief is broad, practical, and impactful - ideal for someone who thrives on change, projects, and making things better than they found them.

Why This Role Stands Out

True project exposure across a number of areas in finance
High visibility with senior finance and operational stakeholders
Variety - systems, controls, reporting, cash, projects
Hands-on role where you’re ideas will be heard and needed, not parked
Immediate impact - you’ll see the results of your work quickly

This is the sort of interim assignment that keeps you engaged because no two weeks look the same.

What You’ll Get Involved In

You’ll support the day-to-day needs of the site while playing a key role in several planned projects, including:

Supporting a systems migration (AR / receivables moving from legacy ERP into Sage)
Cash flow forecasting and short-term liquidity visibility
Hands-on support through month-end close
Reviewing and strengthening financial controls
Producing weekly and monthly reporting for site and group
Ad-hoc commercial and operational finance support as needed

In short: you’ll be the go-to finance problem solver on site.

Who This Suits

You’ll likely be:

A qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
Comfortable operating across financial control, projects, and commercial support
Curious, proactive, and happy to get into the detail
Someone who enjoys being close to operations, not distant from them
Confident working autonomously, with a can-do, delivery-focused mindset

This isn’t a narrow role - it suits someone with a broad skillset who enjoys variety and challenge.

The Mindset They’re Looking For

Practical, not precious
Commercially aware
Systems- and process-minded
Comfortable with ambiguity
Focused on outcomes, not job titles

If you like roles where you can add value quickly, improve how things work, and leave a mark, this will suit you.

The Bottom Line

This is a proper interim assignment:

Hands-on
High trust
High impact
No fluff

Perfect for someone who enjoys projects, pace, and problem-solving - and wants to spend the next few months doing work that actually matters.
