Chief Financial Officer
Recruiting within the London SM & SW postcodes.
Overview
If you're a top quality Chief Financial Officer / Finance Director who wants something different from a traditional corporate role, or an independent CFO seeking flexibility and work-life balance, this could be for you. This opportunity is for CFOs who want to work with ambitious private businesses and enjoy autonomy in building a portfolio of clients.
You will provide CFO services to ambitious £2–£50M private businesses, helping business owners reach their goals.
We are looking for self-starters with ambition, energy and a genuine commitment to helping clients, typically business owners, entrepreneurs, CEOs or MDs. You will thrive on the challenge and autonomy of growing your own portfolio, supported by a global network of CFOs. We have big dreams, and we expect you to share them.
What you need to have
You need to be qualified from one of the UK\'s major chartered accounting institutes and have real-life CFO/FD experience, with strong experience in commercial finance, business strategy, and a proven track record. Your unique value is the ability to build genuine, long-lasting client relationships — part CFO, part advisor, part strategist, part friend. Clients should feel that The CFO Centre is in it with them for the long term.
You will work closely with your Regional Director and a team of CFOs/FDs in a collaborative environment. We pride ourselves on being a great place to work, with family values at our core, as seen in our client operations.
How it works
The role is self-employed, operating within a defined model that combines team support with autonomy and freedom to deliver outcomes for clients.
We focus on teaching you to build a portfolio career that benefits both clients and you. You will work with multiple clients, enjoying the challenge, variety and flexibility this approach provides. You will be a great listener who asks thoughtful questions, building your portfolio day by day and adding value for each client.
We are the UK & Global market-leading provider of part-time Finance Director and Chief Finance Officer services to mid-sized businesses — offering the skillset on an affordable, part-time basis for those who don\'t want or need a full-time CFO/FD.
Who are we?
We are 700+ people across 5 continents, serving the UK & Ireland and other regions. The CFO Centre brings together former CEOs, Executives, CFOs, FDs and successful business owners who collectively drive our clients' growth. We operate as a collaborative, mission-driven team focused on delivering value to clients.
"I started here 4 years ago and I\'m loving the lifestyle, the challenge, and the difference I can make to the clients I am working with, and the ethos of what this place is all about. I even get to go to my kids football games now!"
We are a movement of people who chose freedom-based work over corporate life. This is about doing meaningful work with autonomy and choice, not retirement.
What do we do?
We define and deliver the numbers that truly matter. We help clients identify the metrics that drive growth, acquisitions, consolidation, or lifestyle outcomes they want. We provide the financial leadership and strategic support they need, on a part-time basis.
"Working with The CFO Centre has been a game changer for my business. Not only have we doubled our revenue, I can focus on the things that matter most now."
We are looking for a game changer to join us. Apply now if this sounds like you!
