Finance Manager - Interim

Finance Manager - Immediate Start | West Yorkshire

About the Role

Your new company

I am currently supporting a leading organisation who are looking to hire an interim finance professional during a critical period of operational change. You will play a pivotal role in supporting the finance function.

You’re an ideal candidate if you’re available immediately and are considering a temporary-to-permanent position.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Finance Manager to join on an interim basis initially for 6 months. Your support will be critical in addressing core finance operations and ensuring continuity during a busy, transitional period. This role will contribute to maintaining financial control, reporting accuracy, and strategic decisions made by senior stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee day-to-day finance operations, ensuring robust financial controls
  • Lead on monthly management accounts, reporting, and financial analysis
  • Manage budgeting and forecasting processes
  • Support year-end preparation and audit activities where required
  • Provide financial insights and reporting to senior management
  • Supervise and support junior finance team members
  • Identify and implement process improvements in controls, reporting efficiency, and finance workflows
  • Collaborate with key business stakeholders to inform strategic decision-making

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
