Interim Finance Director | £90,000-£110,000 | Bristol (Hybrid) | 12-month FTC

We’re looking for an experienced Interim Finance Director to lead a finance function through a period of maternity cover, providing strong financial control, commercial insight and confident leadership.

Why join our client

Our client is an established, commercially focused organisation with a collaborative culture and high standards across its finance function. This is a broad senior finance role where you’ll work closely with leadership, influence decision-making and keep key priorities moving.

As Interim Finance Director in Bristol, you’ll have the autonomy to get close to the numbers, support the wider business and provide stability through an important period.

How you’ll make an impact

  • Lead the finance function, creating clarity, accountability and a supportive team environment.
  • Deliver accurate management accounts and meaningful insight to senior stakeholders.
  • Strengthen financial control, ensuring records, assets and liabilities are well managed.
  • Improve forecasting and forward-looking analysis to support commercial decisions.
  • Lead the budgeting process and maintain clear oversight of financial performance.
  • Manage cash flow and support effective working capital and credit control.
  • Oversee the preparation of statutory accounts and relationships with external advisers.
  • Partner with senior stakeholders, providing constructive challenge and clear financial guidance.
  • Keep agreed finance projects and process improvements moving while maintaining business-as-usual delivery.

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.
