Interim & Part-time Finance Director Services

Harrington Kelly provides interim and part-time finance director services to improve the financial performance of your business. We work with business owners, managing directors, existing finance directors and finance teams to allow you to concentrate on running your business, confident in the knowledge that your financial position is being managed efficiently.

Why Interim or Part-time

An Interim Finance Director offers many businesses and organisations an attractive alternative to incurring the high cost of employing a full-time qualified professional. Our clients are often in a period of structural change, development or have major projects which all need to be handled with energy, commitment and strong technical financial and commercial understanding which we can bring.

We also work with smaller and medium sized businesses which are growing fast. Typically these clients have had a basic accounting function in their business but now recognize the need for the skills of an experienced qualified FD to help them meet their full potential. These businesses can’t yet justify the cost of a full-time finance director and so having a part-time FD is an ideal solution to get the benefit without the cost.

Using us enables these businesses to get the right level of finance department resource with the right skill-set until they are in a position to consider more permanent needs. We cover a wide range of sectors and experience and can start at very short notice. We work on or off site – whatever the project requires.

Why use us

• Experience: Having an experienced FD and qualified accountant from Harrington Kelly working as a part of the management team provides the opportunity to benefit from sound strategic advice assimilated over years of being involved in business finance.
• Objectivity: An interim or part-time FD can offer an independent expert perspective to help the business owner look at the businesses strengths and weaknesses. The FD can translate this into practical steps to get the business into the best financial position for growth.
• Pay as you go: We charge by the hour only for work done at an agreed rate. You’re not committed to a permanent overhead and unlike the permanent option there is no holiday pay, national insurance or benefits to pay.
• The right financial information: An interim FD can ensure that the company’s finance function is fit for purpose, complying with statutory reporting requirements and ensuring that management reporting includes accurate financial statements and non-financial information/KPI’s for informed decision-making.
• The right skills: We provide the technical capability to handle UK GAAP, IFRS, different accounting systems and databases with quality and attention to detail.
• Available immediately: attracting a full-timer from permanent employment can take months. We can start immediately and work when and where you need us.
• Responding to change: we can assist with special projects such as an acquisition, disposal, due diligence, investment proposals or to help with a period of restructuring. Our flexibility provides the optimum balance of productivity and cost.
• Build relationships: were not just there as accountants to keep the score. We understand that good working relationships with other stakeholders – employees, management, investors, banks, suppliers and customers – are key to your success.
