Summary

Are you an experienced Finance Manager available at short notice and comfortable stepping into an SME environment to maintain continuity and stability? This interim opportunity offers the chance to take ownership of the finance function during a transition period, working alongside the current Finance Manager to ensure a smooth handover before managing the day-to-day finance operations until a permanent appointment is made.

What will the Interim Finance Manager role involve?

    • Overseeing quarterly management accounts and financial reporting
    • Reviewing project P&L, WIP and margin performance across key projects
    • Maintaining rolling budgets and financial forecasts
    • Managing short- and long-term cash flow forecasting
    • Overseeing VAT, CIS and financial compliance requirements
    • Managing sales ledger activity including invoicing and credit control
    • Supervising purchase ledger and supplier payment runs
    • Supporting the smooth transition of responsibilities during the handover period

    Suitable Candidate for the Interim Finance Manager vacancy:

      • Fully qualified (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or QBE with strong SME finance management experience
      • Comfortable stepping into an established finance function and maintaining day-to-day operations
      • Confident communicator able to work closely with operational teams and external accountants

      Additional benefits and information for the role of Interim Finance Manager:

        • Office based position supporting an already well organised finance function with strong existing processes
        • Opportunity to apply for a more permanent position if desirable, or equally a great opportunity on a pure interim basis
        • Salary will be dependent on experience
