Interim Financial Control and Systems Manager

Are you a qualified accountant with an aptitude for process controls coupled with an interest in Finance and IT Systems? Are you looking for a role where you can shape a new position and play a key part in a transformation journey? Are you a natural leader of teams?

My client, a large Not for Profit organisation, is recruiting an Interim Financial Control and Systems Manager on a 12m Fixed Term Contract to oversee a small, established team responsible for finance systems during a period of transition to a new ERP. This is a newly created role that offers the opportunity to build on what exists while helping shape what comes next.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading and supporting a small team supporting the administration of the finance systems.
• Overseeing monthly and quarterly reviews, ensuring data integrity and systems checks are completed and accurate.
• Supporting the transition to the new ERP by partnering with colleagues across finance to ensure processes are mapped and future-ready.
• Acting as a key contact for the ERP implementation project, feeding in controls expertise and supporting process mapping across finance functions.
• Working with managers across finance to ensure financial controls, reconciliations, and compliance are in place and completed up to standard.
• Supporting risk identification and mitigation across finance processes, ensuring best practice and regulatory compliance.
• Playing a key part in identifying opportunities for improvement in the existing systems landscape while supporting the transformation project.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead a well-established team, engage in a business-critical transformation programme, and ensure high standards across finance systems and controls. You’ll be part of a forward-thinking finance team in a large organisation with a meaningful social mission.

The role is based in West London, with hybrid working expected—typically two days per week in the office.

To be considered, please meet the following criteria:

• Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent). This may have a particular appeal to those with a background in Audit.
• Strong understanding of financial controls, risk, and regulatory compliance.
• Experience supporting or contributing to finance systems implementations.

This is a brand-new role with a quick start available, and interviews are taking place before the last week of July. Apply today to be considered.
