Your new company
A fast-growing, multi-channel SME retail business is seeking an experienced interim consultant to support a small but dedicated finance team. With significant activity across online retail, imports, FMCG-style stock movement, and warehouse operations, the business handles a high volume of invoices and complex reconciliation activity. The finance team need support improving key processes - particularly management accounts - that now require intervention. This is an opportunity to deliver immediate impact while setting the business up for long-term success.
Your new role
As Interim Finance Process Improvement Consultant, you'll take ownership of stabilising, delivering, and improving the management accounts process while mentoring and upskilling the existing team.
Key responsibilities include:
* Reviewing and correcting current accounting practices, ensuring accuracy and compliance
* Leading on the full MA process and embedding best-practice workflows
* Enhancing efficiency across invoicing, stock, import, and reconciliation processes
* Coaching and developing team
* Implementing repeatable, scalable finance processes suitable for a growing business
The assignment is expected to last around six months, though the business is pragmatic and will extend if required to get the job done properly.
