Interim Finance Director VC-Backed SaaS Scale-Up

Interim Finance Director VC-Backed SaaS Scale-Up London

The Client

Harmonic is working exclusively with an investor-backed SaaS scale-up selling into enterprise customers, at around £10m ARR. The business is at an important point in its growth, with a bright team and an energetic office culture.

They are looking for an experienced interim to step in quickly and lead finance for the next six months.

The Role

This is a broad, hands-on Interim FD / CFO role, supporting right across the business rather than sitting purely within finance. You'll own the monthly management accounts and investor and board reporting, while acting as the senior finance partner to the CEO and leadership team on anything commercial, operational or strategic that comes up.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the month-end close and deliver accurate, timely management accounts
• Prepare and present investor and board reporting, including KPIs and commentary
• Report and analyse core SaaS metrics: ARR, churn, net revenue retention, CAC and pipeline to revenue
• Own cash flow forecasting, budgeting and reforecasting
• Support commercial teams on enterprise deal structuring, pricing and contract terms
• Act as a hands-on finance partner to the CEO and leadership team across the whole business
• Keep controls, processes and outsourced or in-house support working well, and leave the function in good shape for a permanent appointment

Essential Experience

• Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA or equivalent)
• Senior finance leadership (FD, CFO or Head of Finance) in a SaaS business
• Strong grasp of SaaS metrics and revenue recognition, ideally with enterprise contracts
• Experience preparing board and investor reporting
• Available to start immediately or at very short notice

Desirable Experience

• Previous interim assignments
