Ready to dive in, add value, and free up the CFO's time?

We're looking for an experienced Interim Head of Finance to step into a dynamic, private equity-backed business and keep the moving at full speed. If you're an ex-FD with a knack for M&A, know your way around the private equity scene, and can hit the ground running, this could be your next interim gig.

What you'll do:

Roll up your sleeves and lead a capable, steady finance team, making sure everything runs smoothly.

Take ownership of all things finance so the CFO can focus on strategy and growth.

Bring your expertise to M&A processes, ensuring you opportunities and make decisions that drive value.

What you bring to the table:

ACA-qualified, ideally, strong experience in private equity environments, you know the demands, pace, and nuance of working with PE-backed businesses.

A solid background as an FD or similar, with proven expertise in M&A, strategic financial leadership, and team management.

A "muck-in" attitude - no task is too small, and no challenge too big.

A talent for adding value from day one and an understanding of how to make an impact in an interim capacity.

Why join even temporarily? This client is fast-paced and growth-focused where your expertise will be valued and your impact visible. This is a chance to make a tangible difference, gain exposure to an ambitious team, and take on a role where you'll genuinely free up the CFO's time to focus on the bigger picture.
