This role exists to build and lead the financial architecture for a growing ecosystem of operating companies, investment vehicles, and family office activities. The Head of Finance will act as the strategic financial quarterback, own financial reporting, forecasting, capital allocation, cash management, debt strategy, tax strategy, governance, and decision support across companies, funds, entities, and business lines. The role focuses on turning complexity into clarity, strengthening banking and lender relationships, and ensuring leadership can see risk and opportunity before they become obvious.

• Own consolidated forecasting, budgeting, scenario planning, and liquidity planning across the full platform.
• Create capital allocation frameworks that guide investment decisions, operating company funding, debt usage, and reserve strategy.
• Lead cash management across entities, banks, currencies, operating accounts, investment accounts, and treasury workflows.
• Manage lender relationships, negotiate credit lines, evaluate debt facilities, and support long‑term capital structure strategy.
• Build financial reporting packages for Peter Rex, senior leadership, investment partners, lenders, and key stakeholders.

• Implement and optimise finance systems such as Net Suite, Adaptive Planning, Anaplan, Carta, banking platforms, and reporting tools.
• Establish financial controls, approval workflows, reporting cadences, and accountability mechanisms across the ecosystem.
• Deliver hard truths quickly, clearly, and without politics when numbers reveal risk, waste, or weak thinking.
• Build a finance function that scales without becoming bureaucratic.

• 8-12 years of finance leadership experience in private equity, family office, holding company, investment management, or multi‑entity operating environments.
• Proven experience managing complex ownership structures, intercompany activity, investment vehicles, and operating company financials.

• Experience with Net Suite, Adaptive Planning, Anaplan, Carta, Excel, BI tools, banking portals, and modern finance workflows.
• Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, or related field required. CPA, CFA, or MBA preferred but not required.
• Capable of building systems personally, not just directing others to build them.
• Exceptional judgment under ambiguity, with ability to simplify complex financial realities into clear decisions.
• High ownership, high urgency, and no tolerance for sloppy numbers or vague accountability.
• Comfortable working directly with founders, principals, investors, operators, lenders, attorneys, and tax advisors.
