Finance Project Coordinator

Finance Project Coordinator
Interim for min.6 Months+ | East Midlands

Are you a finance-qualified project coordinator with strong process improvement skills and a prior background in transactional finance? Our client, an established Midlands business, is looking for an experienced finance contractor to join their finance function and support in the day-to-day coordination of a high-priority platform modernisation programme within Finance.

This is a hands-on, high-visibility contract where you will be the driving force on the ground — keeping workstreams on track, mapping processes end to end, and ensuring the right conversations happen across a wide stakeholder base.

The Role

Reporting into the Project Manager, this project sits firmly within the finance function and centres on consolidating a number of legacy platforms onto a single, modernised solution. The products involved are customer-facing financial products, meaning the project carries a strong emphasis on financial controls, liability management, and general ledger accuracy.

Day to day, you can expect to:

• Coordinate activity across multiple project workstreams, managing the timetable and driving progress
• Liaise with stakeholders across finance, technology, operations, and customer-facing teams
• Map end-to-end business process flows, overlaying people and finance processes onto existing systems documentation
• Identify risks and controls at each process step and document general ledger impacts
• Attend and actively lead fact-finding and stakeholder meetings — this is not a back-office role
• Robustly represent finance requirements when working alongside technical teams
• Support process improvement activity, capturing current-state and future-state flows

What We Are Looking For

Essential:

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with prior transactional finance experience
• Proven process mapping and process improvement skills — end-to-end and detail-oriented
• Previous experience working on projects
• Ability to identify, document, and articulate risks, controls, and financial accounting impacts
• Confident communicator with strong stakeholder management skills across all levels
• Advanced Excel
• A flexible, adaptable approach — comfortable shifting between tasks and teams as the project demands
• Commutable to the East Midlands and able to be on-site daily

Desirable:

• Internal audit or financial controls background
• Experience working on finance systems migrations or platform consolidation programmes

Contract Details

• Duration: 6 months minimum, with strong likelihood of extension
• Start: As soon as possible
• Location: East Midlands (on-site)
