Interim Commercial Finance / FP&A Analyst (6 Months) Leeds-based | Immediate start (Interim only or temp-to-perm) Picture this… It’s nearly Christmas. Most people are winding down, budgets are tight, and hiring has slowed. You, on the other hand, have certainty. A contract secured. A seat in a high-impact transformation. And a role that will genuinely elevate your CV. If you’ve ever thought “I want my next interim to really count” - this is it. Why this assignment is different This isn’t a “keep-the-lights-on” interim role. You’re joining a £500m turnover, PE-backed business at a pivotal moment. The organisation is undergoing a major transformation, and finance is being rebuilt to support it properly. A brand-new FP&A / Commercial Finance function is being created from scratch. No legacy model to inherit. No rigid playbook to follow. No ivory towers. Just a blank canvas, big data, and the mandate to build something that matters. Your mission (should you choose to accept it) You’ll be part of a small, high-calibre interim team tasked with designing and embedding FP&A capability into the business. That means: Working with large, complex data sets Manipulating and cleansing data to ensure accuracy and integrity Loading actuals into budget and forecast models Spotting anomalies before anyone else does (new codes, broken mappings, things that don’t smell right) Turning raw data into clear commercial insight Creating reporting that leaders actually use to make decisions This is hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up FP&A. Fast-paced. Messy at times. Massively rewarding. Who this will suit This role is made for someone who: Loves working with big data sets Enjoys building models, not just maintaining them Is naturally curious and spots when numbers don’t stack up Thrives in change, ambiguity, and transformation Is comfortable working autonomously when lots is going on Wants exposure to a PE-backed environment and large-scale complexity You don’t need everything to be perfectly defined. You do need energy, initiative, and commercial instinct. The practical bits Interim contract: 6 months (with potential to extend or go temp-to-perm) Based in Leeds, Immediate impact role in a high-growth, transforming business Excellent CV equity - support in building FP&A from the ground up in large organisation Why now? Because securing the right interim role before Christmas feels good. Because roles like this - build from scratch PE-backed real data real impact - don’t come around often. And because when this assignment ends, you’ll be able to say: “I didn’t just fill a gap. I helped build the engine.” If that sounds like your kind of interim - let’s talk.
