Global Listed Business | UK | Up to 12 months | Early October start

We are supporting a listed, international organisation with the appointment of an experienced Interim Finance Transformation Director to shape and mobilise a significant, CFO-sponsored transformation of its global Finance function.

Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a high-profile assignment with a clear value-creation mandate. The successful individual will initially lead the diagnostic and design phase: defining the case for change, developing the future Finance operating model and AI/digital roadmap, and building a robust business case for Executive and Board approval. The expectation is then to move rapidly into mobilisation and early delivery.

The transformation will span operating model, process standardisation, shared services/location strategy, ERP optimisation, data and reporting, automation and the practical application of AI within Finance.

We are particularly interested in individuals who can demonstrate:

• Leadership of large-scale Finance transformation within a listed or similarly complex international organisation.
• The credibility to work directly with a Group CFO, Executive Leadership Team and Board.
• A strong track record of developing Board-level transformation business cases, including quantified benefits, investment, phasing, risks and implementation plans.
• Significant experience designing and implementing Finance target operating models, including process standardisation, shared services/GBS, centres of excellence and location strategy.
• Practical understanding of AI, automation, ERP-enabled transformation, data and reporting, rather than technology transformation in isolation.
• Experience leading transformation across multiple countries, legal entities and stakeholder groups.
• Evidence of translating strategy into mobilisation and measurable delivery, balancing cost reduction with service, control and business insight.
• Strong change leadership skills and the ability to navigate complex and potentially politically sensitive international environments.

This is not a programme-management role. We are looking for someone who can operate credibly at Board level whilst remaining sufficiently hands-on to diagnose the opportunity, make clear recommendations and establish the programme for delivery.

Timing: Early October 2026
Duration: Up to 12 months
Location: UK-based, with flexibility to engage across international operations
Engagement: Interim contract

Given the confidential nature of the appointment, further details will be shared with suitably qualified individuals following an initial conversation.

• Strong understanding of data governance frameworks, data quality and stewardship.
• Experience working within enterprise ERP environments (SAP, Oracle, D365 or similar).
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills.
• A strategic mindset, balanced with the ability to deliver operationally.
• Experience designing processes, governance models and operating frameworks.
• The ability to work comfortably in an evolving environment where you'll help define the future state.

If you're looking for a role where you can genuinely shape strategy, influence senior stakeholders and leave a lasting legacy, we'd love to hear from you.

International business in Swindon has an exciting opportunity for a Financial Reporting Manager resulting from an internal promotion.  Likely appealing to a qualified ACA/ACCA accountant with an audit background looking to develop their group reporting and finance systems skills, this represents a compelling opportunity to join a forward thinking and ambitious finance team.

Role

Reporting to the Financial Controller, you will have responsibility for supporting both Group reporting and forecasting.  The role will involve calculating and forecasting distributions, presenting financial information at Board meetings, and assisting with the financial reporting delivery to key investors.  You will also carry out the consolidation, internal and external reporting and analysis of the group financial information and review all asset-level budgets and ensure these are appropriately signed off.​  The incumbent will also act as a key contact and have a hands on role in the success of the Group audits at year end and half year.

About You

Appealing to a fairly recently Qualified Accountant (ACA/ACCA), you will naturally possess good technical knowledge of IFRS and be highly organised and able to plan ahead to deliver accurate information to tight reporting deadlines.  Self-motivated and aspirational, comfortable working in a fast-paced changing environment, you will be an ambitious, driven, highly professional, pragmatic and a credible finance professional looking to make a difference in an exciting growing international organisation.

We’re supporting a major global FMCG organisation with the appointment of a Supply Chain Finance Business Partner into a highly commercial role partnering closely with its supply chain and operational leadership teams.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys getting beyond the numbers – understanding what is happening operationally, challenging performance and using financial insight to improve decision-making across a complex, international supply chain.

The role

Working as a key finance partner to Supply Chain, you will:

• Partner senior Supply Chain, Manufacturing and Operations stakeholders.
• Provide financial insight across manufacturing, logistics, procurement and wider supply chain performance.

• Support continuous improvement and greater consistency in financial reporting and performance management.

The individual

We’re looking for a qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) with strong commercial finance/business partnering experience, ideally gained within FMCG, consumer, manufacturing or another complex supply chain environment.

You’ll need to be comfortable operating with senior non-finance stakeholders and have the credibility to both support and challenge operational teams.

Previous exposure to supply chain finance, manufacturing finance, CPG/FMCG operations, logistics or procurement would be particularly relevant.

Just as importantly, this will suit someone who is naturally curious – able to understand the operational drivers behind the numbers rather than simply reporting financial performance.

It should appeal to an ambitious Factory Controller, Plant Controller, Manufacturing Finance Manager, Supply Chain Finance Manager or Senior Finance Business Partner looking for a role combining financial control with significant operational and commercial exposure.
