Our Business Transformation team is one of six core solution sets within Consulting designed to help businesses transform by improving their operations and supporting them to overcome performance challenges that lead to lasting growth and adaptability (across strategy, technology, finance, innovation, and people). We are guided by good practice principles and the latest technologies, but never constrained by them. The Finance Transformation team sits within our growing Business Transformation Consulting practice and we have an exciting opportunity for an experienced individual to join us.

Over the last few years, we have seen a change in the work that traditional back-office functions, like Finance, deliver and how it is delivered. CFOs face increasing complexity and an ever-changing business environment. They are tasked with driving enterprise performance, participating in strategic direction and growth, whilst also running an effective and efficient finance function. This has accelerated how Finance operates and resulted in the need for Finance to become more agile, streamlined, and efficient, enabling the delivery of more accurate, reliable, and insightful financial information.

Here at RSM, we partner with CFOs to design and implement future-ready Finance operating models. We take the time to understand our clients’ business, their vision and needs. We evaluate and deploy pragmatic solutions that elevate their teams, enhance their effectiveness, and enable them to better serve their businesses while modernising their digital footprint.

You will be a problem solver, creative thinker, and self-starter, who is organised, proactive, and inquisitive. Ideally, you will already have been involved in Transformation projects and can demonstrate the value delivered to organisations with which you’ve worked. You will contribute to client proposals and presentations and our clients will see you as a trusted advisor to work closely with them in identifying, analysing, and solving their business challenges.

In exchange, we offer exciting client opportunities, a clear and concise career development path, and promotion opportunities for those with the drive and the commitment to succeed in a dynamic environment, whilst delivering exceptional service to clients and becoming part of a high performing team.
