- Chief Finance Officer - Financial Director - Group Finance - Divisional Head of Finance - Divisional Financial Controller - Financial Reporting Manager - Shared Services Leads - FP&A - Finance Business Partners

Companies increasingly seek agile solutions to navigate uncertainties, resulting in a higher
demand for interim leaders and specialists who can drive change effectively.
Key Trends
1. Digital Transformation: As businesses continue to embrace digital technologies,
interim managers with expertise in digital transformation are in high demand. We are
seeing more of our clients seeking professionals who can lead initiatives in
automation, data analytics, and digital customer engagement.
2. Hybrid Working Models: The rise of hybrid working has necessitated changes in
companies’ structure and culture. Interim professionals are often brought in to help
manage transitions, ensuring that teams remain cohesive and productive.
3. Sustainability Initiatives: There is a growing focus on sustainability and corporate
social responsibility. Interim roles that focus on integrating sustainable practices and
aligning business strategies with environmental goals are also on the increase.
4. Economic Uncertainty: The UK economy, like many others, faces challenges,
including inflation and geopolitical factors. Businesses are more cautious, leading to
a preference for interim talent that can provide expertise without the long-term
commitment of permanent hires.
5. Skills Gap: The ongoing skills shortage in certain sectors has intensified the reliance
on interim professionals who possess niche skills and experience in change
management, project management, Finance / Business Transformation and specific
industry or sector knowledge.
We work with clients seeking interims with skills largely centred around the following:
PMO, GBS, Interim Finance Change / Transformation,. Shared Services, Systems /
ERP Implementations, Target Operating Model, Organisational Design, Facilities
