Interim Business Analyst in East London - Cedar

The Opportunity

An established services business based in Southeast London is seeking two Interim Business Analysts on a 3-6-month interim contract, starting ASAP, paying £200-£300 per day.

They do 4 days in the office, but this could be one more or less week to week dependent on capacity.

Following a recent acquisition, the business has inherited finance data that is heavily Excel-based and insufficiently structured. This interim requirement has been created to support the finance team in rebuilding, rationalising, and improving the quality of management information and reporting.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused assignment, well suited to a Management Accountant who is comfortable working through complex, unstructured data and supporting consolidation activity in a fast-paced interim environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Analyse and restructure business and financial data inherited through acquisition
• Translate unstructured datasets into clear, consistent and usable information
• Support group-level consolidation through data analysis and validation
• Review historic data to identify trends, gaps, and inconsistencies
• Develop dashboards and reporting outputs to improve insight and decision-making
• Work extensively in Excel to model scenarios, reconcile data, and test assumptions

Candidate Profile

• Proven experience in a business analyst, data analyst, or commercially focused analytical role
• Advanced Excel capability with strong data modelling and analytical skills
• Experience supporting acquisitions, integrations, or data-led transformation projects
• Comfortable working independently with ambiguous or incomplete information
• Highly analytical, detail-oriented, and commercially aware

This contract role offers the chance to join a dynamic, and rapidly expanding business, with exposure to some of the best industry minds in their market.

The company has a very forward-thinking, dynamic approach, adapting to new ideas and embracing innovation.

They are a highly collaborative, collegiate environment, that rewards success
