Why Join TREND Networks? At TREND Networks, you'll be joining a friendly, collaborative and ambitious team where people are trusted to make decisions, contribute ideas and take ownership. This role offers genuine breadth and visibility. Rather than focusing on one area of finance, you'll gain exposure across reporting, compliance, tax, treasury, business partnering and leadership while working closely with senior leaders across multiple international businesses. Whether you're looking to broaden your international experience, develop your leadership skills or become a key part of a growing global organisation, you'll find plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself and build your career.

FTC or Day Rate Considered Stand alone role needing someone with great influencing skills Yorkshire based with some travel further afield around once a month Interim Project / Programme Finance Business Partner 12-month fixed-term contract or day rate c. 0.8-1.0 FTE Leeds / Garforth / A1 corridor (hybrid, 2 days a week) with occasional site visits c. 2 hours away ( twice a month) I'm supporting one of my long standing contacts who has recently been promoted who works for a highly regarded national not for profit organisation on a significant, donor-funded capital programme.This is a major construction and development project financed through donor income, but with regular interactions with government stakeholders. This is a genuinely interesting build with real complexity behind it, and they need a safe pair of hands to business partner the finance side from now through delivery.This is a standalone role, no direct reports to manage, but plenty of people to influence so it will suit someone who's happy rolling their sleeves up and owning the numbers themselves rather than leading a team. What you'll be doing You'll act as the finance partner to the programme and project teams, giving them clear, commercially grounded financial insight throughout the build. That means owning project and programme reporting, forecasting and budget control, tracking spend against a donor-funded envelope, and making sure the numbers stand up to scrutiny from funders and project boards. You'll work closely with construction and project colleagues, so a working understanding of how capital projects are delivered, RIBA stages included, is essential rather than nice to have. There's also some genuinely knotty technical accounting in the mix, including some unusual lease arrangements, so you'll need to be comfortable getting into the detail and forming a view. What we're looking for A fully qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent) Solid finance business partnering experience within construction, capital projects or the built environment Familiarity with RIBA stages and how construction projects are financed and delivered Confidence with complex contract and project accounting, plus the appetite to tackle unusual lease accounting Someone self-sufficient and credible who can partner senior stakeholders without a team around them Available at short-ish notice - ideally able to start within a month The practical bits Salary / Rate is dependent upon experience, but likely to be somewhere in the region of c£65 - 75K or the equivalent day rate (inside IR35) 12-month interim engagement, taken either as a fixed-term contract or on a day rate - happy to talk through both Full-time, but there's flexibility down to around 0.8 FTE for the right person Hybrid working, with roughly two days a week in the office (Leeds / Garforth / A1 corridor) Occasional site visits around two hours away, roughly twice a month If this sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you.

Our client is a practical, forward-thinking company that designs, programs and builds much of its own equipment internally, takes pride in doing things properly and moves quickly when good ideas emerge. It is also a stable, down-to-earth business where people stay, with many team members having been with the company for more than five years. The role will suit a commercially minded finance leader who can see the wider business picture while remaining comfortable with the detail, explaining not just what the figures are, but what they mean, what needs attention and where the opportunities lie. Why you ll want to join: A senior role with direct access to the Board of Directors. Genuine influence over business planning, investment and commercial decisions. Responsibility for leading and developing the full finance function. The opportunity to improve systems, reporting and financial processes.

Death in Service cover of four times salary.

Developing useful financial KPIs and performance measures. Improving accounting systems, reporting processes and internal controls. Identifying opportunities for automation and more efficient ways of working. Liaising with auditors, banks, advisers and other external stakeholders. Leading, mentoring and developing the finance team. Because the role combines strategic responsibility with hands-on financial leadership, it will suit someone who is equally comfortable discussing business performance with the Board of Directors and getting into the detail when something in the figures does not look right. What You ll Bring You will need to be a qualified Accountant, holding an ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent recognised qualification, with previous experience in a senior finance leadership role. You should also bring: Strong management accounting, budgeting and forecasting experience. Proven experience managing cash flow, liquidity and working capital.
