The Opportunity
We are supporting a long-established and highly recognisable Scottish leisure business in the appointment of an experienced Interim Finance Manager.
This is a hands-on leadership role within a multi-entity organisation that is entering a significant period of finance transformation and operational improvement. Working closely with the Fractional CFO and senior leadership team, you will take ownership of the finance function, lead a small team, and help drive efficiencies through process improvement and systems development.
The business is looking for a pragmatic, resilient finance professional who enjoys bringing structure, modernisation and positive change to an evolving environment.
The Role
As Interim Finance Manager, you will oversee the day-to-day finance operation across multiple entities while leading a programme of change focused on improving efficiency, strengthening controls and reducing manual processes.
Reporting into an experienced Fractional CFO, you will initially receive significant support and guidance before gradually taking full ownership of responsibilities, allowing the CFO to reduce their operational involvement over time.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the day-to-day finance function across multiple trading entities
- Manage and develop a team of three finance staff
- Prepare and review monthly management accounts
- Oversee cash flow management, forecasting and financial reporting
- Drive process improvement initiatives across the finance function
- Continue the modernisation of systems and finance processes
- Utilise finance systems to improve efficiency and reduce manual workloads
- Support ongoing development and optimisation of Xero and related systems
- Improve reporting processes and internal financial controls
- Work closely with operational managers and senior stakeholders across the business
- Provide financial insight and support decision-making activities
- Oversee purchasing controls and processes
- Support payroll-related improvements and system integration activities where required
- Partner with the Fractional CFO to deliver key transformation objectives
