We are partnering with a growing, multi-entity business to appoint an Interim Head of Tax & Treasury for an initial 6-month contract. This is a critical role focused on stabilising, building and embedding tax and treasury processes , while ensuring the business remains compliant across multiple jurisdictions. This position sits at the intersection of hands-on delivery and framework design – ideal for someone who can roll their sleeves up to execute , but also put the right structures in place for scale .

The Role

Reporting to the VP of Finance, you will take ownership of tax compliance, treasury operations, and the overall control environment across the group. You will be responsible for:

• Owning all corporate tax, VAT, PAYE/NIC and international compliance obligations
• Leading cash flow forecasting, liquidity management and working capital optimisation
• Managing banking relationships, intercompany funding and FX exposure
• Building and embedding robust tax and treasury frameworks, controls and governance
• Ensuring audit readiness with appropriate documentation and processes in place
• Acting as the key contact for external advisors, auditors and tax authorities
• Reviewing current processes and implementing scalable, fit-for-purpose improvements
• Supporting wider finance initiatives including systems, reporting and potential M&A activity

What We’re Looking For

The client needs someone who can operate effectively in a relatively lean environment , balancing delivery with design. Key experience includes:

• Proven experience in a tax and/or treasury leadership role (e.g. Head of Tax, Head of Treasury, Financial Controller)
• Strong working knowledge of UK and international tax (VAT, corporate tax, transfer pricing)
• Hands-on experience with treasury operations, cash management and banking structures
• A track record of building or improving processes, controls and reporting frameworks
• Comfortable operating in a multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction environment
• Ability to get into the detail when needed , rather than purely overseeing
• Experience in interim or fast-paced environments , with the ability to quickly assess and deliver

The Opportunity

This is a high-impact role where you will:

• Shape the tax and treasury foundations of a growing business
• Operate in a hands-on capacity while influencing structure and governance
• Work closely with senior stakeholders to drive control, visibility and compliance
• Deliver meaningful improvements within a defined 6-month period

If you’re an interim who thrives in roles that require both execution and structure-building , we’d be keen to speak. Apply now or contact us for a confidential discussion.
