Fractional Finance Director — AIM-Listed Technology Business, Central Scotland (Hybrid & Part-time)

Are you a qualified accountant with strong IFRS and AIM-listed reporting experience looking for your next fractional finance engagement? We're recruiting on behalf of a growing, AIM-listed technology business for a Fractional Finance Director / Fractional Financial Controller to provide senior financial control and external reporting support over an initial 6-12 month term.

This is a genuinely flexible, part-time finance leadership role and ideal for an experienced FD, FC or portfolio finance professional who wants meaningful, senior-level work without a full-time commitment.

About the role

You’ll provide hand-on Financial Controller / Finance Director support to an AIM-listed business, covering financial control processes and statutory/regulatory reporting, including the company's six-monthly stock market reporting obligations.

Key responsibilities

  • Guide the design, implementation and continuous improvement of financial control processes
  • Support preparation and review of IFRS-compliant statutory accounts and liaise with external auditors
  • Oversee reporting obligations arising from the company's AIM listing, including six-monthly stock market reporting (RNS announcements, investor and stakeholder reporting)
  • Review and challenge existing financial controls and reporting outputs
  • Provide senior FD/FC oversight and hands-on capacity during peak periods (half-year and year-end reporting, and the Christmas-April budgeting cycle)
  • Act as a technical sounding board for the wider finance team

What we're looking for

  • Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
  • Essential: strong IFRS reporting experience and prior AIM-listed company reporting experience (main market listed experience not required)
  • Significant prior experience at Financial Controller or Finance Director level
  • Demonstrable track record of building and improving financial control frameworks
  • Strong experience of statutory accounts, audit, and listed-company reporting obligations
  • Comfortable working flexibly in a fractional/part-time capacity, with the ability to flex time upward during known busy periods
  • Available to start within 2-3 weeks, ramping up gradually through the Christmas-April cycle
  • Type: Fractional/part-time, initial term of 6-12 months (scope to extend)
  • Location: Central Scotland (hybrid), with occasional on-site attendance
  • Day rate: Competitive, dependent on experience

If you're an experienced finance leader with IFRS and AIM-listed reporting expertise looking for a flexible, fractional opportunity, we'd love to hear from you.
