We’re working with a Private Equity fund who are going through substantial M&A activity within a newly created portfolio company, and they’re now seeking a permanent Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to lead the charge in building a world-class finance function.
This is not your typical CFO role. It’s a chance to build something from the ground up, but with the strong foundation of already-successful, profitable businesses. You’ll be central to shaping the new organisation’s financial strategy, controls, and performance capability, working directly with the PE fund and founders to drive value across the group.
Build and lead a central finance function to best-in-class Private Equity standards.
Partner with the founders of each acquired business to align reporting, governance, and commercial discipline.
Oversee and expand the existing finance team.
Develop new capabilities across FP&A, treasury, and financial systems.
An experienced CFO with a track record in private equity-backed environments.
Strong integration and transformation experience—ideally in a buy-and-build scenario.
Based within commuting distance of Leeds or willing to be on-site 3–4 days per week.
