The Opportunity

This is a pivotal leadership role for a commercially focused and technically strong CFO. You will be responsible for professionalising the finance function, optimising performance, and enabling value creation through organic growth, cost control, and strategic M&A. As a key partner to the CEO, you’ll influence decision-making at board and investor level, while helping position the business for a successful exit within the current investment cycle.

* Implement KPI dashboards and performance analytics to support executive and board-level decisions.
* Maintain banking covenant compliance and manage lender relationships.

Strategic Growth & M&A

* Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO, translating financial data into strategic insights.
* Support delivery of the PE value creation plan through scenario modelling and ROI analysis.
* Drive margin and EBITDA improvements by identifying cost efficiencies and commercial levers.
* Lead evaluation and integration of bolt-on acquisitions.
* Engage directly with investors and the Chairman to track progress against strategic milestones.

Cash, Liquidity & Operational Efficiency

* Maintain tight control over cash flow and working capital via a 13-week rolling forecast.
* Identify opportunities for cash release, cost containment, and margin optimisation.
* Work cross-functionally to drive pricing, contract value, and operational effectiveness.
* Oversee audit, tax, risk management, and statutory reporting requirements.
* Build a fit-for-scale finance infrastructure, including systems, processes, and team capability.
* Prepare monthly board packs and support board-level governance and investor reporting.

Candidate Profile

* Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) with 10+ years of senior finance leadership experience.
* Proven track record as CFO or Finance Director in a PE-backed or leveraged business.
* Skilled in financial modelling, investor reporting, and board-level stakeholder engagement.
* Experience operating in cash-constrained environments and leading business transformation.
* Strong background in M&A execution, integration, and commercial contract review.
* Hands-on, pragmatic leader with a collaborative, results-oriented mindset.
* Comfortable managing change across multi-site operations and building high-performing teams.
