Chief Financial Officer

New Today

You don't want a tidy maintenance role. But are you commercially brave and calm under pressure? Strong enough to stand beside a high-energy CEO as the business grows? This is a business with momentum, ambition, complexity and enough unfinished work to make your fingerprints visible. This is a value-creation CFO role in a private equity-backed, contract-led services business. Revenue has scaled quickly, acquisitions are part of the story, and the next chapter is less about celebrating top-line growth and more about turning scale into sharper margins, stronger cash discipline and better-quality profit. You'll operate as the CEO's commercial and financial counterweight: rigorous, shrewd, numbers-led and profit-focused. Not the person who says 'no' for sport, but the person who tells the truth early, challenges optimistic trading narratives and makes sure ambition translates into performance. You'll hire to strengthen the finance function to ensure it can properly support the next stage of growth: stronger reporting, better forecasting, tighter controls, cleaner MI, improved treasury and working capital management, and a more accountable rhythm across the business. What you'll bring You're likely to be ACA qualified, with experience as an FD or CFO in a scaling, multi-entity business. Private equity, acquisitive growth, contract-led environments or listed company experience would all be relevant. You'll be credible at Board level, but not too grand to get close to the detail. Possessing strong commercial acumen, you'll know when to challenge, when to support, and when to put structure around entrepreneurial pace without killing it. A track record of building and developing finance teams, together with the emotional intelligence to inspire trust, lead through change and get the best from those around you. What's in it for you £160,000 - £200,000, depending on experience Car allowance Bonus up to 60% LTIPs Pension, 10% employer contribution Family healthcare 25 days holiday Flexibility to work from home one or two days a week.
