Lucion

## Interim Finance Systems & Process Improvement Lead

_Financial Controller level or just below | 3–6 month contract | 5 days per week | Runcorn / hybrid_

### The role

We're looking for a **hands-on interim finance professional** who can get under the bonnet of our finance function, work out what's creaking, and build the fix.

This is a **delivery role, not an advisory one**. We want someone who can diagnose the gaps, roll up their sleeves and improve the underlying systems and processes themselves.

We run **NetSuite**, so strong practical knowledge of the platform is essential.

### Your first 4–8 weeks

You'll have two big priorities:

- **Treasury and cashflow modelling & reporting** — including a likely rebuild of our existing cashflow forecasting model
- **AR and AP process improvement** — an end-to-end review covering collections, approvals, controls and the impact on month-end

In short: **find the friction, fix the process, make the numbers better.**

### The broader mission

Once the immediate priorities are under control, you'll also:

- Identify and implement opportunities to automate manual and repetitive finance tasks, making full use of NetSuite functionality
- Support the development of financial and non-financial reporting, including KPIs and management reporting
- Document the improved processes so the permanent team can pick things up without needing a decoder ring
- Leave the finance function in a better, cleaner and more scalable place than you found it

### What we're looking for

You'll be a **qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA)** with FC-level or senior finance manager experience, plus:

- Strong **NetSuite experience**, including configuration and reporting — not simply end-user experience
- Advanced financial modelling skills, particularly **cashflow and treasury forecasting**
- A demonstrable track record of **finance process improvement and automation**
- Experience working in a business of similar size and complexity
- The ability to work independently, move quickly and get things done without needing extensive hand-holding
- A practical mindset: you're as comfortable improving a process as you are explaining why it needs improving

### The essentials

**Contract:** 3–6 months

**Location:** Runcorn / hybrid

**Working pattern:** 5 days per week

**Level:** Financial Controller / Senior Finance Manager

**Rate:** £450–£650 per day, outside IR35

Job Introduction

# **Interim Finance Systems & Process Improvement Lead**

*Financial Controller level or just below | 3–6 month contract | 5 days per week | Runcorn / hybrid*

## **The role**

We’re looking for a **hands-on interim finance professional** who can get under the bonnet of our finance function, work out what’s creaking, and build the fix.

This is a **delivery role, not an advisory one**. We want someone who can diagnose the gaps, roll up their sleeves and improve the underlying systems and processes themselves.

We run **NetSuite**, so strong practical knowledge of the platform is essential.

## **Your first 4–8 weeks**

You’ll have two big priorities:

- **Treasury and cashflow modelling & reporting** — including a likely rebuild of our existing cashflow forecasting model
- **AR and AP process improvement** — an end-to-end review covering collections, approvals, controls and the impact on month-end

In short: **find the friction, fix the process, make the numbers better.**

## **The broader mission**

Once the immediate priorities are under control, you’ll also:

- Identify and implement opportunities to automate manual and repetitive finance tasks, making full use of NetSuite functionality
- Support the development of financial and non-financial reporting, including KPIs and management reporting
- Document the improved processes so the permanent team can pick things up without needing a decoder ring

- Experience working in a business of similar size and complexity
- The ability to work independently, move quickly and get things done without needing extensive hand-holding
- A practical mindset: you’re as comfortable improving a process as you are explaining why it needs improving

If you’re the sort of finance professional who sees a spreadsheet held together with seventeen tabs and thinks *“right, let’s sort this out”*, you’ll probably fit in well.

## **The essentials**

**Contract:** 3–6 months  
**Location:** Runcorn / hybrid  
**Working pattern:** 5 days per week  
**Level:** Financial Controller / Senior Finance Manager
