Who we are

We’re building a high‑growth AI SaaS business alongside a profitable agency. We’re looking for a CFO who wants to shape the story and the exit.

Your Expertise

You are a commercially astute, qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with a proven track record of helping ambitious businesses scale at pace. You have spent several years inside a high‑growth scale‑up, are fluent in SaaS metrics (ARR, churn, NRR, LTV:CAC) and comfortable operating in the complexity that comes with rapid expansion, funding rounds and exit‑readiness. You thrive working closely with a leadership team and shaping the future of a business from the inside.

What truly sets you apart is your breadth of perspective: experience across SaaS and professional services, exposure to M&A, and a genuine commitment to building a business that balances performance with purpose through progressive ways of working and meaningful social impact.

Why This Role Is Different

You’ll be joining a leadership team that genuinely wants finance at the heart of decision‑making. The CEO and COO are ready to hand over the numbers to focus on growth, product and market expansion. They’re not looking for a gatekeeper; they’re looking for a commercial partner who can:

Key Responsibilities

• Build reporting – real‑time dashboards and MI to run the day‑to‑day business and report at Board level
• Navigate a hybrid model – agency retainers alongside SaaS subscriptions, each with different economics
• Spot growth opportunities the rest of us haven’t seen, using data nobody else is interrogating
• Prepare the business for exit – clean books, compelling story, data room ready, and a CFO who can hold their own in due diligence

What We Offer

• £90,000 – £150,000 base salary depending on experience
• Equity – real ownership with meaningful upside if we hit our exit targets
• Four‑day working week – we believe in output over hours
• A seat at the table – you’ll report directly to the CEO and work closely with the COO and Gresham House
• An “Outstanding Company to Work For 2024” – culture serious

The Process

We’re taking a considered, high‑bar approach to this hire. A thorough, high‑quality process that includes psychometric assessment and a commercial case study designed to understand what you’ve achieved and how you think and make decisions.

Target start date

June 2026
