Interim Senior Finance Support
Experienced financial leadership when your business needs it most
When a business experiences a vacancy in its finance leadership, regardless of the circumstances, it is suddenly exposed.
Reporting deadlines remain, decisions still need to be made and the finance function must continue to support the business.
At Shelley Ward Consultancy Ltd, I provide experienced Interim Senior Finance Support to ensure continuity, stability and confidence during periods of change.
What is Interim Senior Finance Support?
An Interim Finance Director or Head of Finance is appointed for a defined period to provide immediate financial leadership and support. This may be because a senior finance professional has left the business, is absent for an extended period, or additional expertise is needed during a period of change.
Unlike a Fractional Finance Director, who provides ongoing support on a part time basis, an Interim Finance Director steps in to cover a specific need, often working more closely with the business until the situation is resolved.
How I can help
I can provide immediate support with the following :-
-
Finance leadership and oversight
-
Managing the day to day finance function

Financial reporting and management information

Cash flow forecasting and monitoring

The result

You gain an experienced finance professional who can quickly understand the business, support the finance team, maintain reporting and provide confidence to owners, directors and stakeholders.
Most importantly, the finance function remains stable, supported and focused during what can often be a challenging period.
