Interim Financial Controller - Immediate Start - Potential Permanent Opportunity

Interim Financial Controller

Central London - 3-6 Month Assignment - Potential to Become Permanent

Looking for an interim role where you can genuinely make a difference rather than simply keep the lights on?

Perhaps you're an experienced interim who enjoys helping ambitious SMEs through periods of change.

Or maybe you're between permanent opportunities and would welcome the chance to join a growing business, with the possibility of making the role your own longer term.

Either way, we'd love to hear from you.

We're working with a successful, privately-owned consultancy business that's entering an exciting phase of growth. Their current interim assignment is coming to an end, and they're looking for an experienced finance professional who can provide stability, commercial insight and leadership whilst supporting the next stage of the business's journey.

Working alongside an experienced Fractional CFO and senior leadership team, you'll quickly become a trusted member of the business, taking ownership of the finance function whilst helping shape its future.

Your responsibilities will include:

\n
• Producing monthly management accounts and commercial reporting.
\n
• Budgeting, forecasting and cashflow management.
\n
• Supporting strategic decision-making through meaningful financial insight.
\n
• Strengthening financial controls, systems and reporting.
\n
• Managing and developing a small finance team.
\n
• Partnering with operational stakeholders across the business.
\n
• Supporting the leadership team through an exciting period of growth and change.
\n

We'd particularly like to hear from people who:

\n
• Have previously operated as a Financial Controller, Finance Manager or Head of Finance within an SME.
\n
• Enjoy balancing commercial involvement with a pragmatic, hands-on approach.
\n
• Can build credibility quickly with senior stakeholders and operational teams alike.
\n
• Have experience within consultancy, professional services, recruitment, agencies, project-led businesses or other people-focused organisations.
\n
• Are ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified (or qualified by experience with highly relevant experience).
\n

What's different about this opportunity?

This isn't simply an assignment to maintain the status quo.

The leadership team see finance as a genuine commercial partner and are looking for someone who can bring ideas, improve processes and support the business through its next phase of growth.

Whilst the initial requirement is for an interim appointment, there is genuine flexibility for the right individual, including the potential for the role to become permanent should there be mutual interest.

Whether you're an experienced interim or an immediately available permanent candidate looking for the right long-term opportunity, we'd welcome a confidential conversation.
