Do you have a strong background in the charity sector and thrive in both strategic and hands-on roles? Are you available at short notice to step into a crucial role leading a successful and well performing finance team?
My client, a small but impactful charity with a mission to improve services and support to vulnerable people across the UK, is seeking an Interim Finance Director for a 3-6 month contract. This role will provide vital leadership during the recruitment of a permanent FD, focusing on the seamless operation of the finance function and contributing to the broader financial strategy.
Key responsibilities include:

- Managing all Board-level responsibilities typical of a Finance Director and being key support service to the CEO.
- Participating in monthly finance sub-committee meetings.
- Leading the finance team to ensure timely and accurate month-end reporting.
- Maintaining an awareness of the broader financial outlook and advising accordingly.
This role offers the chance to work remotely, with only occasional in-person meetings at various locations around the UK, providing flexibility and a supportive work environment.
The role can be either full or part time for the right candidate (minimum three days per week); and the small company exemption to IR35 will apply meaning the successful candidate can work via their own Ltd company if they choose.
To be considered, please meet the following criteria:
- Fully qualified accountant with significant experience in the charity sector.
- Proven track record in short-term senior assignments, including Board interaction.
- Willingness to engage in both high-level strategic discussions and day-to-day financial operations.
