Interim and Fractional Portfolio Support
In many investor–backed businesses, timing is everything. A new investment, a leadership change, or a period of rapid growth can create an immediate need for senior finance support.Â
Flexible finance leadership when it is needed most
In many investor-backed businesses, timing is everything. A new investment, a leadership change, or a period of rapid growth can create an immediate need for senior finance support.
In these situations, an interim or fractional Finance Director can provide stability, insight and structure while longer term plans are put in place.
Artemis Clarke works with investors and portfolio companies to provide experienced fractional and interim finance leaders who can step in quickly and add value from day one.
When interim or fractional support makes sense
We are often asked to help in situations such as:Â
- Immediately after investment, while the long-term finance structure is being definedÂ
- Cover during a transition or leadership gapÂ
- Supporting a founder who needs stronger financial visibilityÂ
- Preparing for a funding round or exitÂ
- Providing additional capacity during a period of changeÂ
This flexible support allows businesses to strengthen their finance function without needing to make an immediate permanent hire.Â
Practical, hands-on support
Our Fractional Finance Directors are used to working in growing SMEs. They are comfortable getting into the detail, improving processes and building reporting that supports better decisions.Â
Â
They can help to:Â
- Improve management information and reporting packsÂ
- Build or refine forecasting modelsÂ
- Strengthen financial controls and processesÂ
- Support leadership teams with commercial insightÂ
- Create confidence in the numbers for investors and lendersÂ
For many portfolio businesses, this support becomes a valuable bridge between investment and the appointment of a permanent FD or CFO.Â

Let’s start with a conversation
If you work with growth stage businesses and want a partner who understands finance from the inside, we would be very happy to connect.
Sometimes the right first step is a hire. Sometimes it is interim support. And sometimes it is simply a conversation to sense check what the business needs next.
What matters is getting the finance leadership right at the moments that count.
