Finance Director
Recruiting for our Manchester region.
What’s the opportunity?
If you’re a top-quality Chief Financial Officer / Finance Director who’s frustrated with the confines of a normal corporate life and seeking something different, or an independent CFO who’s already made the break from corporate life, or a working or returning CFO parent looking for more work flexibility and work-life balance, then read on — this might be for you.
You’ll be responsible for providing CFO services to ambitious £2-50M private businesses, supporting business owners to climb their Everest.
We’re not interested in people who just want a job. You’ll help our clients reach those summits. You’ll be a self-starter with ambition, energy, and a ‘can do’ attitude, passionate about helping our clients, typically business owners, entrepreneurs, CEOs, or MDs.
You’ll thrive on the challenge and autonomy of growing your own portfolio of clients, supported by an incredible network of CFOs based across the world. We have big dreams, and we expect you to share them.
What do you need to have?
You need to be qualified from one of the UK’s major chartered accounting institutes and have been a real-life CFO/FD multiple times, with strong experience and understanding of commercial finance, business strategy, and a successful track record. Your unique strength is your ability to build genuine, long-lasting relationships with clients — being part CFO, part advisor, part strategist, and part friend. Clients will say, “this person and The CFO Centre are in it with me for the long-term, and I know they really care.”
You will work closely with your Regional Director and a team of CFO/FDs in a highly collegiate environment. We pride ourselves on being a great place to work, with family at our core, as reflected in our clients’ operations.
“I love the family feel of working here. People genuinely care, and you’re not just a number. Colin, his wife Julie, and their sons make you feel like this business is yours as well.” — UK Colleague
How does it work?
The role is self-employed, operating within a defined model that combines the benefits of being part of a team and supported by a well-established organization, with autonomy and freedom in how you deliver outcomes for clients.
Rather than just giving you fish, we teach you how to catch them and how to build a portfolio career that can be a game changer for both clients and yourself. You’ll enjoy the challenge, variety, and interest of working with multiple clients, appreciating the flexibility this way of working provides. As you build your portfolio, you’ll ask yourself, “how do I add value and do something special for my clients today?”
We’re the UK & global market leader in providing part-time Finance Director and CFO services to mid-sized businesses — for those that don’t want, need, or can’t afford a full-time CFO/FD, but still want access to that expertise on an affordable, part-time basis.
Who are we?
We’re 700+ people across 5 continents, operating in multiple regions in the UK & Ireland. We started The CFO Centre to change the game for mid-tier businesses!
You’ll join a team of former CEOs, executives, CFOs, FDs, and successful business owners, all top of their game and experienced in their fields. We’re like the Avengers of the financial strategy world, bringing together thousands of years of collective experience to supercharge our clients’ businesses.
“I started here 4 years ago, and I love the lifestyle, the challenge, and the impact I can make. I even get to attend my kids’ football games now!” — CFO Centre CFO
We’re a movement of people seeking a freedom-based lifestyle. This isn’t about retiring or relaxing on a beach in Thailand. It’s about doing something purposeful and being the captain of your own ship. Freedom means loving what you do and having choices.
What do we do?
We define and deliver the numbers that truly matter. We help our clients find the key metrics that impact their business and lives, and assist in achieving their goals — whether growth, acquisition, consolidation, or lifestyle design.
“Working with The CFO Centre has transformed my business. We’ve doubled revenue, and I can now focus on what truly matters.” — CEO Client Company
