The Company
A rapidly expanding professional services group executing an ambitious buy-and-build strategy, bringing together established businesses under a growing national platform.
Following significant acquisition activity, the Group is investing in its finance capabilities, with a particular focus on improving management information, reporting consistency and visibility of underlying commercial performance.

- Partner with senior finance leadership to deliver actionable insight for management and investors.
This is a hands-on, high-impact assignment within a growing City of London finance function. At £700-£900 per day, the focus is on delivering meaningful improvements rather than maintaining existing processes.
