About This Assignment

We're supporting a well-established agricultural business in Kent in its search for an experienced Interim Finance Manager. This is an on-site role at the heart of the organisation, and it calls for more than general finance capability — the client is specifically looking for someone who understands how a grower-based business actually operates: the seasonality, the member and grower relationships, and the operational pressures that come with it.

You'll take charge of the day-to-day finance, administration and HR function, reporting into the Managing Director and providing regular updates to the Board and Audit Committee. There's an immediate, time-critical focus on asset transfer administration ahead of a member payment deadline early in the new year, alongside the full run of management accounting, statutory compliance and treasury duties you'd expect from a Finance Manager role of this scope.

This assignment would suit an interim or fractional finance professional who already understands the agricultural or horticultural sector, and who's comfortable settling into a new environment quickly without a long induction period.
