Finance & Accountancy Jobs Board – Permanent, Interim and Fractional Roles

Finance and accountancy jobs: what to expect

Most of the roles we handle sit in the finance function of a trading business: the people who run the month-end close, produce the management accounts, look after the balance sheet and the audit, and give the leadership team numbers it can rely on. Typical titles are Accounts Assistant, Assistant Accountant, Management Accountant, Financial Accountant, Finance Manager, Financial Controller, Group Financial Controller and Head of Finance, alongside specialist roles in FP&A, regulatory reporting, client money and tax. Senior roles usually ask for a professional qualification, such as ACA, ACCA or CIMA, or equivalent experience. Employers also look closely at the systems you have used, the size and complexity of the businesses you have worked in, and whether you have owned a process or contributed to it. A clear CV that shows what you were responsible for, and what changed because of your work, makes a real difference. Not every role is full-time and permanent. Interim roles cover a gap, a project or a period of change, and usually start quickly. Part-time and fractional roles give a growing business qualified finance support for one to three days a week. If you want more flexibility, see our pages on interim and fractional finance roles, and register so we can call you when a suitable assignment comes in.

Join our network of fractional and interim finance professionals

If you are a qualified Financial Controller, Finance Manager or senior accountant who wants more flexibility, we would like to hear from you. Growing businesses increasingly need experienced finance support for one or two days a week, or for a fixed period, rather than a full-time hire. That suits professionals who want variety, several clients at once, or a better balance between work and the rest of life.  See also our jobs sitemap which lists all roles on one page. We match fractional and interim professionals with start-ups, scale-ups, private equity-backed businesses and established SMEs across the UK. Assignments typically cover the month-end close and management accounts, audit preparation, a systems change, cover for a departure or parental leave, or building the finance function ahead of investment. Our guide to what a fractional Financial Controller does explains how these roles work, and you can register your interest through our candidate registration page. Accountancy Capital is part of FD Capital Group, five specialist recruitment firms with a shared network of finance professionals. Finance Director and CFO searches are often run alongside our sister firm FD Capital.
