SF Executive are working with a Cornwall based, private equity backed services & technology organisation with an international reach to source a rounded and communicative Chief Financial Officer.
The organisation in question is on a very strong growth trajectory and needs a CFO that can ensure the finance team and associated infrastructure are fit for purpose, while also working with the CEO to set and drive the strategic direction of the business.
The role will be broad, covering other areas such as IT, HR, and some back office customer service elements. In reality, 70% of the role will be financial and 30% operations.
Outside of the above, you will stand shoulder to shoulder with the CEO to shape and drive strategy, ensuring the business and its underlying infrastructure grow in a consistent and controlled way.
At the right time, you will also lead an exit on behalf of the current private equity backers.
We are looking for candidates who have been a No 1 CFO in a standalone or PE backed business, ideally with experience of leading exit transactions within standalone companies with EBITDA in excess of £1m annually. We would also consider candidates who have been No 2 to a CFO in a standalone or investor backed business, as this could be an opportunity for someone on the right career trajectory to get their first PE CFO role.
We would probably draw the line at candidates who are currently in blue chip organisations, but if you are working as FD of a standalone subsidiary of a larger group, please do apply and we can take a look.
Given the location of the role, our client will provide an expenses budget to cover travel and accommodation if needed a couple of nights per week. We would also consider relocators who might be looking to leave the big city in favour of life in the South West.
