Corporate Finance Analyst Interim NEW

Cedar is currently partnered with a private equity-backed technology and infrastructure business to secure an Interim Corporate Finance Analyst. The role is a 6-month contract initially, paying a day rate between £500-700 per day, depending on experience.

The Company
This dynamic, private equity-backed infrastructure business is in a high-growth phase, executing a bold strategy fuelled by leveraged acquisitions and strategic investment. With multiple transactions in progress and a pipeline of expansion opportunities, the finance team plays a central role in enabling sustainable, capital-efficient growth. This is a rare opportunity to join at a critical point in their journey.

The Role
As Interim Corporate Finance Analyst, you will:

• Build, maintain, and refine complex three-statement financial models, including LBO and project finance structures, to support M&A and capital planning initiatives.
• Support capital raising activities across senior debt and equity, providing modelling and analytical support for structuring decisions.
• Maintain and improve the long-range planning model, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and flexibility to reflect evolving business scenarios.
• Deliver robust outputs from financial models, including sensitivities, assumptions documentation, and presentation-ready materials for internal and external stakeholders.
• Collaborate across finance and strategy teams to support transactions, business cases, and wider strategic initiatives.
• Ensure strong model governance, documentation, and version control to uphold analytical integrity and best-practice standards.
• Operate at pace within a fast-moving, private equity-backed environment where financial modelling is central to decision-making.

Your Profile
You will ideally have:

• A background in corporate finance, investment banking, transaction services, or a strategic FP&A role in a high-growth business.
• Proven experience developing detailed financial models, particularly for debt-funded acquisitions and LBOs.
• A strong understanding of capital structure, valuation, and transaction modelling in a corporate environment.
• Commercial awareness and the ability to translate financial data into actionable insights.
• Prior interim experience is helpful, though not essential.
• The day rate of £500-700 per day offers a competitive increase from your most recent role or a fair market rate for similar mandates.

Compensation & Benefits
Alongside a competitive day rate of £500-700 per day, this Interim Corporate Finance Analyst role offers the opportunity to be at the centre of a high-performing finance function within a private equity-backed infrastructure business.

The team works 2-3 days per week from their Central London office, easily accessible from major transport links. The environment is fast-paced but highly collaborative, combining commercial rigour with a forward-thinking, dynamic culture. Success is recognised, and you’ll work alongside some of the most capable professionals in the market.
