CFO

CFO, PE-Backed SaaS, Manchester, up to £150,000 + Bonus + Equity

Cedar is partnering with a private equity-backed B2B SaaS business to appoint a commercially focused Chief Financial Officer.

Following a recent growth investment, the business is entering an exciting stage of its development. With an established international customer base and significant scope for further expansion, it is now looking for a CFO who can help shape and execute the next phase of growth.

This is broader than a traditional finance leadership position. Operating as a genuine strategic partner to the CEO and Board, the CFO will combine robust financial leadership with the commercial and operational mindset of a CFO/COO.

The opportunity

The CFO will take ownership of the finance function while playing a central role in the wider development of the business. Key responsibilities will include:

• Building and professionalising a scalable finance function
• Developing high-quality forecasting, budgeting and management information
• Establishing clear SaaS KPI reporting across ARR, retention, churn, CAC, LTV and unit economics
• Partnering with the CEO and leadership team on commercial strategy and growth execution
• Providing insight across pricing, customer profitability and channel performance
• Supporting operational decision-making across the wider business
