Finance Business- 6 Months Contract

Are you an experienced Finance Business Partner with a strong background in management accounting? Do you enjoy working closely with budget holders to provide meaningful financial insight and challenge? Are you looking for an interim opportunity within a large, complex charity where you can make an immediate impact?

A well-established charity is seeking an Interim Finance Business Partner to join its finance team on an initial 6-month contract. The role offers hybrid working, with two days per week in a Central London office.

This is a broad position combining business partnering, budgeting, forecasting and hands-on management accounting, supporting senior stakeholders across the organisation.

The key responsibilities of the Interim Finance Business Partner are:

• Building strong relationships with budget holders and senior stakeholders, providing financial advice, insight and constructive challenge.

• Leading the preparation and review of budgets and forecasts, ensuring financial plans are accurate and aligned with organisational priorities.

• Producing monthly management accounts, including detailed variance analysis and commentary.

• Supporting month-end processes, including journals, accruals, prepayments and reconciliations.

• Monitoring financial performance, identifying emerging risks and recommending appropriate actions.

• Developing financial models and analysis to support business cases, funding decisions and strategic planning.

• Supporting improvements to financial reporting, processes and controls.

• Working collaboratively with the wider finance team to ensure the accuracy and integrity of financial information.

The successful candidate will have:

• A recognised accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).

• Strong experience in both management accounting and finance business partnering, ideally within a large or complex organisation.

• Excellent budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis skills.

• The ability to communicate complex financial information clearly to non-finance stakeholders.

• Strong Excel skills and confidence working with financial systems and large datasets.

• A proactive, organised approach with the ability to manage competing deadlines.

• Previous charity sector experience would be advantageous, particularly exposure to fund accounting, but is not essential.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Finance Business Partner to join a large charity on an initial 6-month contract, taking ownership of a varied portfolio of financial responsibilities while supporting key financial decisions across the organisation.
