What does an interim finance consultant do?

An interim finance consultant temporarily steps into a role to provide stability, drive change or offer additional support when needed. This could involve covering a role during recruitment, illness or parental leave – or strengthening the team ahead of year-end accounts, reporting or periods of growth.
