Robert Half is working in partnership with a business in Staffordshire to appoint an Interim Finance Director to support the company through an upcoming sale process.

This is a hands-on, commercially focused role requiring a senior finance professional who has successfully navigated a transaction before - whether a trade sale, PE exit, or carve-out. You'll work closely with the CEO and investors to ensure financial rigour, transparency, and control throughout the deal process.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead all financial aspects of the sale process, including preparation of due diligence materials and liaison with external advisors.
• Provide clear, commercial insight to the Board and investors.
• Strengthen financial controls, governance, and reporting during the transaction.
• Manage relationships with auditors, lawyers, and corporate finance advisers.
• Support the business through the transitional period post-transaction if required.

The Successful Candidate:

• Immediately available and ready to start at short notice.
• Proven track record as a Finance Director or senior finance leader through a sales or investment process.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, able to communicate effectively with investors and operational teams.
• Previous experience in a PE-backed or high-growth environment is highly desirable.

This role requires someone who can balance strategic oversight with the ability to roll up their sleeves. You'll be a stabilising presence through a high-pressure, fast-moving period for the business.

If you're an experienced interim FD who's been through a sale and can deliver immediate impact, please get in touch for a confidential discussion.
