Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

The Company is seeking a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to play a pivotal role in its transition to private equity ownership. The successful candidate will be responsible for partnering with the Managing Partner, leadership team, and private equity investors to develop and execute a value creation plan. This plan is focused on improving operational efficiency, commercial performance, and increasing margins. The CFO will be hands-on, with a strong emphasis on financial and operational data visibility, and will work to strengthen FP&A capabilities, establish KPIs, and identify opportunities for efficiency and profitability. The role also involves supporting the company's international growth strategy and preparing the business for a future strategic exit. Candidates for the CFO position must have a proven track record in private equity environments, with experience in a professional services business. Strong FP&A foundations and the ability to translate data into commercial insight are essential. The role requires a hands-on, detail-oriented approach, and experience in using technology, automation, or AI to improve processes is advantageous. The ideal candidate will be experienced in supporting cultural and organizational change, particularly in performance-led environments, and will hold a professional finance qualification such as ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent. The CFO will be expected to be immediately available or on very short notice, and to work closely with the finance team and the wider business to drive the company's financial and operational success.
