Interim Finance Director Recruitment FAQs
What is an Interim Finance Director?
An Interim Finance Director is an experienced senior finance professional who joins your business on a temporary basis to provide leadership, stability, and expertise during periods of change. Interim Finance Directors typically support organisations through transitions such as rapid growth, restructuring, acquisitions, fundraising, or the departure of a permanent Finance Director. They provide immediate value by improving reporting, strengthening financial controls, and supporting strategic decision-making.
When should a business hire an Interim Finance Director?
Businesses hire Interim Finance Directors when they need immediate financial leadership without committing to a permanent hire. Common situations include covering a resignation, preparing for investment, managing rapid growth, implementing new financial systems, preparing for a sale or acquisition, or stabilising financial performance during challenging periods. Interim FDs are particularly valuable when speed and experience are critical.
How quickly can you place an Interim Finance Director?
We can typically introduce suitable Interim Finance Director candidates quickly from our established network of experienced professionals. Because many of our Interim Finance Directors work exclusively on interim assignments, they are often available at short notice and can begin delivering impact quickly.
What does an Interim Finance Director do?

Their responsibilities often include improving financial reporting, managing cashflow, supporting budgeting and forecasting, strengthening financial controls, managing finance teams, supporting fundraising or investor relations, and helping leadership teams make informed commercial decisions.
What is the difference between an Interim FD and a Fractional FD?
An Interim FD usually works full-time or intensively for a defined period to address a specific situation such as a transition, turnaround, or project.
