Description

Energy Aspects has an exciting opportunity for an experienced and delivery-focused Interim Finance Transformation Lead to join the business for an initial 6–12-month engagement. This is an excellent opportunity for a high-calibre finance professional to play a central role in a significant period of finance transformation, supporting the business as it continues to scale internationally and integrate acquired entities.

Reporting to the CFO, this is a hands-on, execution-focused role that will be pivotal in driving a broad portfolio of strategic and operational finance initiatives across the Group. From the outset, the successful candidate will take ownership of a defined portfolio of high-priority projects spanning FP&A development, post-acquisition integration, month-end and financial accounting process improvement, invoicing and revenue reporting, and the assessment of AI-enabled automation opportunities.

The successful candidate will combine strong technical finance capability with a strong analytical aptitude and rigour to develop and implement solutions, helping to improve financial processes, strengthen reporting, support post-acquisition integration and assess opportunities for automation and AI-enabled efficiencies. Working across a complex, multi-entity international environment, you will have the opportunity to deliver meaningful change that enhances the effectiveness, scalability and commercial value of the finance function. You will recognise that effective finance processes are not an end in themselves, but a means of enabling faster, better-informed decisions that support business growth.

Key Responsibilities

Lead and deliver a defined portfolio of finance transformation projects, working closely with the CFO and wider Finance team to improve processes, controls, reporting and operational effectiveness.

Support the development of FP&A processes and budget integrity, including improving modelling accuracy across personnel costs, commissions, deferred revenue, capex, tax and National Insurance liabilities, ensuring robust model integrity through to net profit with clear linkage between the P&L and balance sheet.

Partner with the FP&A team to enhance management reporting, including the development of management accounts by product line through to profit before tax and longer-term product-level revenue reporting, including a rolling three-year ARR view where appropriate.

Oversee key post-acquisition integration activities, including finance system migration onto Sage, chart of accounts mapping, consolidation set-up and acquisition accounting support, ensuring delivery against agreed implementation timelines and key go-live milestones. Support the design and migration of billing processes and transfer pricing arrangements in the acquired entity.

Work closely with international finance teams, including local market finance colleagues within the acquired entity, to improve financial controls and processes, month-end, and FP&A.

Review the end-to-end CRM, invoicing, credit control and revenue reporting functions, from source data capture through to invoice generation cash collection and reporting.

Review and enhance credit control processes to reduce AR.

Assess and trial AI and automation opportunities across accounts receivable, accounts payable and revenue reporting processes, including automated workflows with appropriate human oversight, operating model design and return-on-investment analysis.

Support development of the month-end close process, including the transition towards a five-day close, additional controls in some areas and enhanced granularity of reporting.

Contribute to the ongoing development of management information and financial reporting, supporting the business in making faster, better-informed commercial decisions, including the continued development of internal reporting through to net profit and regular product-level profitability analysis.

Perform ad hoc analysis and project work as required to support the wider finance transformation agenda.
