Interim Finance Director | County Durham | 6-12 Month Contract | £600 - £850 per day

Elevation Recruitment Group are excited to be working with a well-established and acquisitive group as they look to appoint an Interim Finance Director for a 6-12 month engagement.

The group is in an active period of growth. Having recently completed an acquisition, they need a seasoned Finance Director, to lead the integration and build the financial infrastructure for a business with real momentum behind it.

  • You will be working directly with the Managing Director and senior leadership team, with real influence over how the business is run.
  • The owner is entrepreneurial and driven, and they want someone who will push back as much as they support.
  • If you thrive in environments where your opinion carries weight and decisions get made quickly, this is worth a conversation.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

The core of the role is building a proper finance function from the ground up, implementing cost capture and management reporting, producing timely and accurate management accounts, and giving the business the financial visibility it needs to keep growing. You will also be working alongside a permanent Financial Controller hire, so part of the role will be developing that person and handing over responsibilities in a structured way.
