Hire an Interim Finance Director/CFO
Experienced financial leadership, exactly when you need it.
An interim finance director is an experienced FD or CFO who joins your business full-time for a defined period, typically three to nine months, to cover a departure, lead a project, or steady the finance function through change. Unlike a fractional or part-time hire, an interim is there full-time and focused on a specific outcome.
Artemis Clarke places interim finance directors, CFOs, financial controllers and finance managers across the UK. Every candidate is assessed by qualified accountants before you meet them, so the person who walks in on day one can do the job from day one.
