Job description

Interim Finance Director (June-December 2025)

Location: Hybrid (3 days per week on-site - Hampshire HQ)
Contract: 6 Months (Full Time)
Salary: Competitive
Lead. Coach. Deliver.

We're working exclusively with a well-established brand with a nationwide footprint and channel partnerships, looking for an experienced Interim Finance Director to provide leadership through a key strategic period.

This is a hands-on, high-impact opportunity to lead, support, and elevate a well-structured finance team through the second half of 2025. The successful candidate will bring not only strong financial acumen but a passion for coaching, mentoring, and embedding best practice in a collaborative, people-first environment.
The Role

• Provide strategic and day-to-day leadership of the finance function across a £200m+ turnover business.
• Coach and mentor an experienced finance team, supporting both individual development and collective performance.
• Play a pivotal role in year-end planning, forecasting, and reporting, ensuring clear communication and stakeholder engagement throughout.
• Work closely with peers across commercial, operational, and executive teams to guide decision-making.
• Be a cultural anchor - helping shape a finance function that's fit for the future, with strong values and clear accountability.

You'll Bring

• A track record as an Interim FD or CFO within a comparably sized, complex business - ideally with multi-channel operations.
• A strong foundation in financial leadership, coupled with the people skills to engage, develop, and inspire.
• Proven experience navigating year-end and strategic planning processes, ideally during periods of change or transition.
• The ability to land fast, build trust quickly, and contribute to a positive leadership culture.
• A coaching mindset - not just directing, but developing those around you.

What Makes This Role Stand Out

• You'll be trusted to lead and given the freedom to shape.
• A company culture that values people as much as performance.
• You're not just plugging a gap - you're helping elevate a team and steer them into 2026 stronger than ever.

Next Steps

If you're a commercially sharp, emotionally intelligent interim FD looking for a meaningful challenge - one where you can make a real human and business impact - we'd love to hear from you.
