Interim Finance Director | 6-12 Month Assignment | Immediate Start
Acuity Associates is working with the owner of an ambitious, well-established SME that has undergone significant investment and transformation in recent years. As the business enters its next phase of growth, they are looking to appoint an experienced Interim Finance Director to lead the finance function through a period of transition.
This is a genuinely hands-on assignment. You'll take ownership of an established finance team, improve the quality of management information and reporting, strengthen financial processes and provide the commercial insight needed to support an ambitious leadership team.
Key responsibilities
- Improve the quality, timeliness and usefulness of Board and management reporting.
- Strengthen financial controls, reporting processes and management information.
- Support and develop an established finance team.
- Provide commercial insight to support continued growth.
- Help create a finance function capable of supporting the next stage of the business's journey.
We're looking for someone who:
- Has operated successfully as an SME Finance Director.
- Enjoys rolling their sleeves up and working in the detail.
- Has a track record of improving reporting, processes and finance teams.
- Is commercially minded, pragmatic and confident working alongside entrepreneurial business owners.
- Can make an immediate impact within a fast-paced, operational environment.
Previous experience in a growing SME will be viewed favourably. Sector experience is less important than the ability to quickly understand a business and improve the finance function.
The assignment is expected to last 6-12 months, with a predominantly onsite presence required, particularly during the initial handover period.
All applicants must complete The Acuity Measure assessment to be considered for this role.
