Interim Commercial Finance Manager
Bristol | 3-6 Month Contract | Immediate Start | Competitive Day Rate
We're supporting a well-known multi-site business seeking an Interim Commercial Finance Manager to provide commercial insight that directly influences trading performance and strategic decision-making. Initially offered on an interim basis, there is a strong possibility for a longer term permanent play.
This isn't a role focused on producing reports. It's about partnering with the business, challenging assumptions and helping leaders make better commercial decisions through high-quality analysis and financial insight.
Working closely with senior operational and commercial stakeholders, you'll provide the financial support needed to optimise profitability across the estate.
