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.
