CMA Recruitment Group is working with an established group in the construction sector to recruit an Interim Management Accountant / Finance Business Partner, based in Fareham. The assignment is for a minimum of three months, with extension likely and a permanent role possible.

The finance team is well covered for month-end reporting but has no commercial finance resource at present.
