The Opportunity
We're appointing an experienced Interim Finance Director/Finance Lead to support a focused turnaround and rapid EBITDA improvement phase.

This is a hands-on, commercially driven interim role for a decisive finance leader who can stabilise cash, improve working capital and act as a true commercial partner to a fast-paced CEO and Board. This is not a passive reporting role - you will be expected to challenge, influence and deliver at pace.

What You'll Do

• Take ownership of cash flow, working capital and balance sheet risk

• Implement a rolling cash forecast with clear RAG visibility

• Reduce debtor days and improve cash collection

• Improve management accounts to support commercial decision-making

• Introduce structure to sales forecasting and forward income visibility

• Identify automation and process efficiencies (Sage 200 environment)

• Support pricing, margin protection and SaaS/subscription reporting

• Strengthen governance while freeing up CEO time

You will sit on the Board for the duration of the engagement.

What We're Looking For

• Proven interim FD/senior finance leader experience in SME turnaround or growth environments

• Strong track record in cash stabilisation and working capital improvement

• Commercial, confident and comfortable challenging senior stakeholders

• Experience across multi-entity structures

• Hands-on and delivery-focused

• Systems and process improvement experience (Sage 200 a plus)

• SaaS or subscription revenue exposure is beneficial
