Interim Finance Project Manager - Reporting & Control

We're supporting a leading retail business in Merseyside with the appointment of an Interim Finance Project Manager to strengthen financial control, reporting and governance during a period of change.

You'll take ownership of several finance‑led projects, including:

• Reviewing and strengthening financial control frameworks

• Creating, documenting and embedding accounting policies

• Acting as a bridge between BAU finance and wider transformation initiatives

• Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
• Strong background in financial reporting, controls and technical accounting
• Experience delivering finance projects in large, complex organisations
• Comfortable rolling sleeves up - hands‑on and delivery focused

• Hybrid working (4 days onsite, flexibility for the right person)
• A genuine opportunity to leave the finance function in a stronger place

If you're an experienced finance professional who enjoys bringing structure, clarity and control
, this could be a great fit.
