What’s the Average Day Rate for an Interim CFO in the UK in 2025?

Thinking of hiring an interim CFO in 2025? Here's what it costs — and why. Across the UK, the typical day rate ranges from £800 to £1,500 per day, depending on complexity, speed, and experience.

At the lower end, you’re getting steady hands. At the top end, think private equity deals, turnarounds, complex multi-entity groups.

Most work 4-day weeks and stay 3 to 9 months. They're not there for the long haul — they’re there to solve a problem.

You’re paying for judgement, speed, and zero ramp-up. Interim CFOs bring clarity, control and calm — especially when stakes are high.
