Radley Green is exclusively partnering with a high-growth, private equity-backed Testing, Inspection & Certification (TIC) business in their search for a CFO. With a strong UK footprint and ambitions to scale significantly through a buy-and-build strategy, this is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a business on a clear 5-year path to exit.
With revenues currently at c.£45m and EBITDA of £9m, the business has bold plans to scale to £400–£500m T/O through targeted M&A and organic growth. To deliver on this, they need a commercially astute, PE-proven CFO who brings both strategic leadership and operational rigour and can scale a business to £400m+ T/O.
What were looking for:
You’ll be a CFO who thrives in fast-paced, PE environments - ideally with experience scaling a professional services or TIC business. A track record of executing buy-and-build strategies is essential, along with the credibility to engage with investors, boards, and leadership teams.
Key Responsibilities:
* Shape and execute the financial strategy to support growth and value creation.
* Lead end-to-end financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting processes.
* Drive M&A efforts including deal structuring, due diligence, and integration.
* Implement and maintain robust risk management and compliance frameworks.
* Build and lead a best-in-class finance team aligned to the growth journey.
The ideal candidate:
* A qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA or equivalent) with prior CFO experience in a PE-backed business.
* Proven expertise in buy-and-build strategies and scaling businesses to £400m+ T/O.
* Strong M&A credentials, from deal origination through to integration.
* Deep understanding of recurring revenue models and professional services environments.
* A strategic leader who can also roll up their sleeves and get into the detail.
If you’re a high-impact CFO ready to lead a dynamic business through its next phase of growth and create real equity value, we’d love to hear from you.
