About The Company and Role
We are currently partnering with a leading industrial goods organization with a strong national footprint. Currently going through a significant finance transformation program to modernise systems, processes, and reporting capability, they are seeking a hands-on Finance Transformation Lead to join on an initial 6-month contract. This is a high-impact role where you will take ownership of the accounting design and execution across the transformation, working alongside finance, IT, and project teams.

  • Act as the primary accounting decision-maker across the transformation
  • Partner closely with the Project Manager (delivery cadence) and key workstreams including data, systems, and operations
 
About You
  • You are a hands-on finance leader with extensive experience in technical accounting / controllership (ideally Big 4 trained Senior Manager/Director or Financial Controllers from industry)
  • Comfortable being hands on (not a pure managerial position)
  • Proven experience delivering finance transformation programs across:
    • Financial close and consolidation
    • Controls and audit engagement
    • ERP / finance systems and process integration
  • Experience operating in complex environments (multi-entity, legacy systems, carve-outs, or imperfect data environments)
  • Experience within project finance, infrastructure, or asset-heavy environments
  • Previous role as a Finance Design Lead or R2R Lead within a transformation
  • Ability to effectively bridge accounting, systems, and business stakeholders
  • Comfortable with significant visibility and influence across a business-critical transformation
