Interim Head of Finance - Robertson Bell : Job Details

Are you a hands-on finance leader who thrives during year end? Can you lead a team through audit delivery while working with basic systems? Want to make a difference in a small, mission-led Housing provider?

This small London-based Housing provider is approaching a critical point in the financial year and has brought in an Interim Finance Director to oversee strategy. To provide the structure and momentum needed, they’re now seeking an Interim Head of Finance on a three-month contract to lead the team through year end and audit.

Key Responsibilities include:

• Taking a lead role in the preparation and delivery of year end and audit processes

To be considered, please meet the following criteria:

• Fully qualified accountant with extensive Social Housing finance experience
