FD Capital

A well-established property management and lettings business in London SE1, with approximately £6.5 million in turnover and around 80 staff, is seeking a hands-on fractional Finance Director. The business currently manages bookkeeping in-house but requires stronger financial leadership, more efficient processes, and better-structured reporting to lenders.

The engagement is fractional and part-time, with on-site presence in SE1 preferred and some hybrid flexibility available. There is potential for an ongoing advisory or Non-Executive Director role alongside the fractional engagement for the right candidate.
