The business is entering a critical phase of its investment cycle and is seeking a commercially focused CFO to lead the finance function, drive value creation and act as a key partner to the CEO and investors.

This is a high impact role requiring a hands on, operationally engaged finance leader who can balance strategic oversight with execution in a fast paced services environment.

• Own budgeting, forecasting and cash flow management across a multi-site, operationally complex business.
• Drive performance visibility through robust MI, KPIs, and data led decision-making.
• Implement and enhance financial controls, governance, and reporting to institutional standards.
• Lead all aspects of transaction readiness, including vendor due diligence and exit execution.
• Optimise working capital and operational efficiency across the business.

• Proven CFO or Divisional CFO experience within a PE-backed, business services environment.
• Demonstrable track record of executing a successful exit within a Private Equity setting.
• Strong buy-and-build experience, including acquisition execution and post-deal integration.
• Highly commercial, with the ability to operate close to operations in a multi-site, labour-intensive business.
• Experienced in working with PE stakeholders, lenders, and advisors.
• Hands‑on, pragmatic leader with the ability to operate at both strategic and operational levels.
