Job summary

Hozah Ltd seeks a commercially minded CFO to partner with the CEO and leadership team in London. This hands-on role goes beyond reporting; you’ll shape growth, pricing, and strategic initiatives using FP&A and data technology.

You’ll build and lead the finance function, implement KPI dashboards, manage cash flow and funding, and drive AI-enabled efficiency to maximise long-term value for the business.

Qualifications

• You’ve led finance before — or you’re ready for your first shot and can prove it. A strong FD/Head of Finance ready to step up, or an early-second-time CFO who wants to build rather than inherit.
• You’re commercial, not just technical. You read the business, not just the ledger, and you have a view on where value is created and where it leaks.
• You can build FP&A from scratch. Modelling, forecasting, scenario planning — the forward view is your craft, not something you outsource.
• You’re hands‑on. You’ll build it yourself before you delegate it, and you’re not above the detail.
• You’re front‑footed on tech and AI in finance. You’re already using modern tooling to make a lean function punch above its weight.
• You can make numbers land with people who don’t live in them. A founder, an ops lead, and an investor in the same room, each hearing what the numbers mean for them.
• You’re comfortable stepping outside the ‘Finance Lane’ and getting involved directly with clients and suppliers.

Responsibilities

• Be the right hand to the CEO on all things financial, commercial, and strategic.
• Bring rigour and a fresh lens to growth decisions.
• Support commercial deal‑making: pricing, contract economics, and the numbers behind new site and client decisions.
• Build and own the budgeting, forecasting, and FP&A function.
• Iterate on the forward‑looking board pack and investor reporting that leadership and shareholders use to make decisions.
• Establish the KPIs and financial dashboards that connect day‑to‑day operations to financial outcomes.
• Own cash flow, capex, working capital, and scenario planning as the business scales.
• Build, lead, and develop the finance team — including mentoring and growing existing talent toward more senior roles.
• Put in place the processes, controls, and systems a scaling business needs, without adding bureaucracy that slows it down.
• Partner with the CEO and investors on fundraising, refinancing, and M&A / corporate development as the business grows.
• Manage banking, treasury, and key financial partner relationships.
• Take a front‑footed approach to AI and automation in finance — reporting, forecasting, reconciliation, and analysis.
• Continuously raise the bar on how much a lean finance function can deliver.
