Interim Director of FP&A

Interim Director of FP&A - ASAP start, two weeks notice max - PE backed SaaS

I am supporting a high-growth, private equity-backed technology business to appoint an Interim Director of FP&A for an initial 3–6-month assignment.

Reporting directly to the CFO and leading an established team of four, this individual will take ownership of the group’s planning, forecasting and board reporting processes. The role requires a commercially minded FP&A leader who can operate credibly with senior management, challenge performance and translate complex financial data into clear, actionable insight.

Key responsibilities:

• Own the monthly forecasting and board reporting cycles
• Provide clear analysis of performance, risks and opportunities
• Lead and support a high-performing FP&A team
• Partner with senior stakeholders across commercial and operational functions
• Challenge business owners constructively and hold the organisation to plan
• Support strategic planning, scenario analysis and shareholder reporting
• Oversee lender covenant reporting
• Improve the quality, efficiency and automation of FP&A processes
• Develop the use of AI and advanced analytics across the function

The successful candidate will be:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
• An experienced FP&A leader who has operated at Director or Head of FP&A level
• Comfortable supporting a CFO, executive leadership team and board
• Experienced in complex, international and multi-entity organisations
• Strong across planning, forecasting, reporting and commercial analysis
• Able to combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery
• A confident stakeholder manager with the credibility to challenge senior leaders
• Available to begin an interim assignment at short notice

Experience within B2B technology, SaaS or subscription-based businesses would be particularly relevant, as would previous exposure to private equity-backed or high-growth environments.
