Finance Director

Leicestershire  (Hybrid)

c.£150,000 

A growing, FCA regulated financial services business based in Leicestershire is seeking an experienced Interim Finance Director to provide senior finance leadership during a critical period of growth and transformation.

Reporting to the CEO and working closely with the Group Finance Director, this is a hands-on, high-impact role at the heart of the business. You’ll lead the finance function whilst simultaneously driving several major strategic and operational initiatives.

The Role

This goes well beyond day-to-day financial management. You’ll take ownership of a significant systems transformation programme, including data reconciliation and the implementation of new platforms to support the next phase of business growth. Alongside this, you’ll lead on raising new debt facilities, manage funder relationships, and provide financial leadership on M&A activity and new partnerships.

You’ll also strengthen MI and reporting capability, oversee cashflow forecasting, lead the budgeting process, and ensure full regulatory compliance including FCA reporting obligations.

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) or equivalent senior experience
• Financial services experience is essential
• Proven experience leading system transitions and data reconciliation projects
• Track record of raising debt facilities and managing funder relationships
• Experience of FCA regulated environments
• Strong financial controls and governance background
• Hands-on, collaborative leader comfortable working across finance, data and IT teams
• M&A and due diligence experience desirable

A genuinely varied and commercially significant role within a growing, regulated financial services business. Plenty of scope to make a real impact across both the strategic and operational agenda and to become an essential member of the senior leadership team as the business scales.
