Finance Business Analyst | Manchester | £450–£550 LTD per Day
We’re supporting a Private Equity–backed organisation delivering a portfolio of high-value, business-critical projects, and we’re looking for a commercially astute Finance Business Analyst to join on an initial 12 month engagement.
This is a high-impact interim role sitting at the intersection of finance, operations, and project delivery. Ideal for someone who can bring rigour to financial performance, challenge assumptions, and drive better decision‑making in a fast‑paced environment.
The opportunity:
You’ll play a key role in overseeing the financial performance of projects end-to-end, partnering closely with operational and senior stakeholders to ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and with clear commercial visibility.

Key responsibilities:
- Oversee project financial performance from initiation to completion, including budgeting, forecasting, cost tracking, and variance analysis
- Partner with project managers and senior stakeholders to provide financial insight, challenge assumptions, and support decision‑making
- Develop and deliver timely, accurate reporting on project performance, risks, and opportunities
- Lead forecasting and budgeting cycles, ensuring alignment with delivery timelines and cost profiles
- Support investment appraisals, including ROI, NPV, and payback modelling for new initiatives
- Ensure strong financial governance and control across the project portfolio
- Identify and implement process improvements to enhance reporting accuracy and transparency
About you:
- ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified
- Proven experience across FP&A, project accounting, and commercial finance
- Exposure to large‑scale project environments
- Strong capability in budgeting, forecasting, cost control, and CapEx management
- Advanced financial modelling and business case development skills
- Ability to translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insights
- Confident stakeholder manager, comfortable working with senior leaders and non‑finance teams
- Commercially minded with the confidence to challenge and influence decisions
What’s on offer:
- High‑visibility role within a commercially driven, PE‑backed environment
- Opportunity to influence strategic project outcomes and investment decisions
- Fast‑paced, delivery‑focused culture with real impact
