Interim Finance Director
A municipally owned company in Lund is going through a period of change and is now looking for an experienced Interim Finance Director who takes firm control from day one. The assignment is to stabilise, build and embed a well functioning finance function, and to hand over an organisation that stands firmly on its own feet.
The assignment
You will be the Acting CEOs closest adviser on financial matters and the companys point of contact with the municipalitys finance and procurement functions. You will present financial matters to the board and report regularly to the municipalitys Director of Finance.
The work is carried out in three phases
Stabilise: secure payment routines, authorisation procedures and liquidity planning, produce a current state analysis and action plan, and lead the year end closing and annual report for 2026.
Build: establish internal control, a finance manual, a procurement process with a contract register, monthly closing, and reporting to the board and owner.
Embed and hand over: document processes, develop the business plan and budget for 2027 and 2028, lead the transition to the municipalitys finance system, and hand over to the permanent Finance Director.
Who we are looking for
You are an experienced Finance Director or CFO who has brought structure and order to organisations undergoing change. You have solid knowledge of accounting, financial closing and internal control, ideally with experience of municipally owned companies and public procurement.
