The City, United Kingdom Cedar Full time

Cedar is currently partnered with a PE-backed global business to secure an Interim Finance Business Partner - Costs, offered on a hybrid basis with offices in Central London. The role is a 6-month initial contract, paying a day rate between £400 - £550 per day.

The Company

This fast-paced, innovative business is at the forefront of their industry. Their PE-backers have driven the company to new heights recently, and have ambitious plans with the business.

The Role

As Interim Finance Business Partner - Costs, you will:

  • Develop and implement effective cost control processes to ensure financial discipline across all projects.
  • Monitor and track project costs against budgets, identifying variances and flagging risks early.
  • Act as the key business partner for Finance, HR and Project teams, providing guidance on financial performance and controls.
  • Deliver clear, timely, and accurate financial reports to senior management, highlighting key insights and trends.
  • Provide financial forecasts to anticipate cost pressures and identify opportunities for cost savings.
  • Oversee the accruals process, ensuring accurate and timely cost recognition.
  • Continuously review and improve cost management processes, identifying opportunities for greater efficiency.

Your Profile

You will ideally have:

  • An accountancy qualification (ACCA, CIMA, ACA).
  • Proven experience in cost control, financial analysis, or management accounting, preferably in a project-based environment.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to detail.
  • Effective communication skills, with the ability to present financial data clearly to non-finance stakeholders.
  • Prior experience in an interim / contract role would be beneficial but not necessary.
  • The rate of £400-550 per day represents a fair value, or logical increase on your previous salary or day rate.

Compensation & Benefits

As well as the day rate of £400-550 per day, this contract role as Interim Finance Business Partner, offers the chance to join a highly-desirable PE-backed business that is developing from strength to strength.

Their highly impressive Central London office is walking distance from multiple tube and rail stops, and the company embraces a flexible and understanding approach to hybrid working. They typically attend the office around once per week.

They are a high-performance, dynamic organisation with a meritocratic culture that value and reward their staff.
