The successful candidate will be a seasoned CFO with a proven track record in a PE-backed business, particularly in the areas of M&A, financial due diligence, deal execution, and post-deal integration.

Essential qualifications for the CFO position include being a qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/ACMA) and having a background in professional services, legal services, B2B services, or a related people-led/service-based sector. Experience in supporting a Founder-led business through professionalization, including governance, reporting, and process maturity, is also a key requirement. The ideal candidate will have a track record of operating at pace and driving change in a business at scale, with strong communication, stakeholder management, and commercial judgment being essential skills. This is a unique opportunity to join a well-backed business at a significant stage of growth and to take a central role in its strategic expansion and eventual exit.
