As part of this change journey, they are seeking a hands-on Interim Finance Business Analyst to support process improvement within their shared services function, particularly around Record-to-Report (R2R) activity.This is a high-impact role for a pragmatic, commercially aware Finance Business Analyst who can roll up their sleeves, engage stakeholders constructively, and help shape clearer accountabilities between shared services and business-facing finance teams.Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct a pragmatic review of current R2R processes delivered by the Shared Services Centre.
  • Analyse and map current activities, responsibilities, and workflows - identifying where tasks sit today versus where they should sit under the target operating model.
  • Engage with finance stakeholders across shared services and business partnering to understand current 'ways of working', challenge role creep, and clarify ownership.
  • Make practical, actionable recommendations to improve process efficiency, clarity, and control - prioritising quick wins that are within the team's gift to implement.
  • Support the realignment of roles and responsibilities to help Shared Services focus on service delivery and free up Business Partners for more value-added work.
  • Help embed process documentation and handovers where gaps exist.
  • Where necessary, flag technology-related improvement opportunities for longer-term transformation initiatives.
Experience Needed
  • Strong finance background - ideally qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIMA), or equivalent by experience.
  • Proven experience working within or alongside shared services and/or finance business partnering environments in a large organisation.
  • Hands-on exposure to R2R (Record-to-Report) processes and month-end accounting workflows.
  • Demonstrable experience conducting process reviews, analysing role/responsibility alignment, and making pragmatic improvement recommendations.
  • Track record of working through ambiguity and navigating organisational change with confidence.
  • Comfortable balancing strategy with delivery - mapping out what needs to change and helping implement it where appropriate.
Ideal Candidate Profile
  • A confident communicator who can challenge constructively and influence without authority.
  • Emotionally intelligent and commercially aware - capable of having difficult conversations in a collaborative, non-disruptive way.
  • Comfortable working in environments with organisational change, where priorities evolve.
  • Able to travel to site once per week (Birmingham) to build relationships and drive buy-in.
  • Systems exposure to Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a bonus, but not essential.
