We have an excellent opportunity for a Senior Finance Consultant, with a strong understanding of the finance function and how it supports the achievement of business goals, along with excellent business analysis skills and a strong track record driving business and systems change for organizations. Reporting to the COO, this role involves identifying process and systems improvements and mentoring existing Finance staff.
Key Responsibilities
1. Partner with business colleagues to identify, document, and implement process improvements and efficiencies in the Finance function, in terms of systems, process, and resources.
2. Assist in developing the Finance Reporting process and identifying possible reporting improvements, including leveraging increased digitization.
3. Liaise with business units and other functions on coordinating the key components and assumptions underpinning the budgets and financial targets.
4. Assist the finance unit in target setting in conjunction with the COO, ensuring annual budget and Key Performance Indicators (K.P.I.s) support the attainment of longer-term strategic goals for the finance department.
5. Review business-led investment appraisals and provide appropriate internal stress testing for investments, as well as conducting post-investment appraisals to monitor and confirm the targeted ROI has been achieved.
The successful candidate will have excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills and be very comfortable presenting to senior audiences and being challenged on assumptions around budgets, proposals, and business plans. Strong commercial awareness is required, as is the ability to work in collaborative cross-functional teams to achieve the business’ goals.
A professional qualification in accounting is not required but would be preferred. Our clients do have a Finance Director and would be interested in speaking to candidates looking for Consulting or Contracting opportunities with a draw-down of approximately 2 days a week over a six-month period. Candidates must be based in Ireland with their own transport, as the end client operates across a number of sites in Ireland.
