Interim Finance Transformation Lead (D365 Consolidation and Reporting) | International Consumer Brand | London

Harmonic are delighted to be partnering exclusively with an established, internationally expanding consumer brand on the search for an Interim Finance Transformation Lead to support a critical D365 implementation programme.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a high-growth business at a pivotal moment in its finance transformation journey. The organisation has built a strong presence across international markets and is now investing significantly in its D365 rollout and wider reporting infrastructure to support the next phase of its growth.

This role will suit a qualified finance professional who has been the finance voice in the room on a D365 consolidation and reporting build. This is not a programme management or PMO role. The business needs a hands-on finance subject matter expert with deep consolidation knowledge and the ability to flex and deliver in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment.

The Role

Reporting into senior FP&A leadership, this role will take ownership of the consolidation and reporting workstream as part of an active D365 implementation. You will act as the primary finance lead on consolidation design and management reporting, working closely with Financial Control, FP&A and the wider data and technology teams to ensure the new platform delivers meaningful improvements in insight, efficiency and control.

The environment is fast-paced and evolving. The successful candidate will need to bring both rigour and adaptability, operating effectively in conditions of change and ambiguity whilst maintaining delivery momentum.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the finance workstream for group consolidation and management reporting within the D365 implementation, ensuring outputs support reporting, planning and analysis requirements
• Act as the hands-on finance subject matter expert across group consolidation, intercompany accounting and chart of accounts design, ensuring the consolidation module is configured correctly and fit for purpose
• Oversee data migration activity into D365, proactively managing risks and maintaining high levels of data quality and consistency
• Assess reporting and analytics requirements to determine the optimal delivery method across D365, Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, ensuring scalable and globally aligned solutions
• Act as a key bridge between group finance, the D365 project team and data functions, translating business requirements into practical system and reporting solutions
• Lead UAT across the consolidation and reporting workstreams, driving reconciliation activity between legacy and new environments ahead of go-live
• Produce clear process documentation and reporting logic to underpin knowledge transfer and control

What We Need to See (Essential)

• Qualified accountant (CIMA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent), this is a non-negotiable requirement
• Proven hands-on experience as the finance lead on a D365 Finance and Operations implementation, specifically owning the consolidation and reporting workstream
• Deep working knowledge of group consolidation, intercompany accounting and chart of accounts design, gained through direct involvement in ERP implementation programmes rather than oversight or governance roles
• The ability to demonstrate specific consolidation builds you have owned and delivered, not supported or project managed
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment and flexing approach to suit the phase of delivery
• Ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders across finance, technology and data functions

What Would Be Advantageous

• Power BI capability with experience designing scalable reporting solutions
• Experience with Microsoft Fabric
• Background in a consumer, product-led or premium retail business
