Interim CFO

Harmonic are delighted to be partnering with an innovative FinTech start-up as they look to appoint an experienced CFO on an initial contract basis, with a clear path to a permanent appointment following a successful funding round. This is a unique opportunity to join a highly ambitious, venture-backed business at a pivotal stage of its growth journey, requiring a commercially minded finance leader who can combine strategic leadership with hands-on execution in a fast-paced start-up environment. Our client is an early-stage technology business operating within the financial services ecosystem. Having spent the past year building an experienced leadership team, developing its product offering, and attracting a strong network of industry advisors, the company is now entering a critical growth phase. With significant fundraising plans and ambitious expansion targets, they are seeking a CFO who can help build the foundations for long-term success while supporting the business through its next stage of growth. Reporting directly to the Founder & CEO, the Interim CFO will play a critical role in shaping the company's financial and operational foundations. The immediate priority will be leading the business through its FCA authorisation process while simultaneously supporting fundraising activities, investor engagement, and broader strategic initiatives. This role requires someone who is equally comfortable operating at board level and rolling up their sleeves to deliver key projects independently. Initially engaged on an interim day-rate basis, the successful candidate will transition into a permanent CFO position upon completion of the upcoming funding round.
