Job description

Recently Funded | Pre Revenue | Build, Scale & Shape

1 to 2 Days Per Week | UK / Remote

Come and be part of an incredible idea at the point where it starts to become a real business.

We Do Group are partnering with a recently funded, pre revenue technology business to appoint a Fractional CFO.

The idea is brilliant.

The technology has been built.

Investment has recently landed.

Now it's time to build and scale.

The business is using technology and automation to completely simplify how consumers recover compensation when travel is disrupted.

The opportunity is huge, but getting from a great idea and working product to a scalable, investable and properly controlled business requires the right financial infrastructure around it.

That's where you come in.

Working directly alongside the Founder for approximately 1 to 2 days per week, you'll become a key part of the journey from pre revenue start up to scaled business.

And this isn't a fractional CFO role where you turn up once a month, review the management accounts and disappear.

You’ll help build it.

You’ll help answer the big questions around how the business should operate and put the foundations in place to allow it to scale properly.

THE INITIAL BRIEF

• Build the financial model and understand the economics at scale
• Develop cash flow, forecasting and management information
• Shape pricing and commercial strategy
• Build the financial controls and governance from scratch
• Support future fundraising and investor readiness
• Establish the appropriate FCA and regulatory position
• Navigate payment services, client money and safeguarding considerations
• Design how customer settlements and fees flow through the business
• Establish banking, payments and reconciliation infrastructure
• Oversee data protection and wider compliance requirements
• Advise on company structure, tax and risk
• Manage external legal, regulatory and professional advisers

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Someone who has done this before.

An experienced CFO who understands what it takes to go from early stage to scale and is excited by the opportunity to help create something rather than inherit it.

Experience within Fintech, Payments, Financial Services, Insurtech, Claims, Consumer Finance or another regulated technology environment would be particularly interesting.

FCA, payment services, client money or safeguarding experience would be hugely valuable.

You might already have a portfolio of fractional roles.

You might have built and exited businesses.

Or you might be between CFO roles and fancy getting your teeth into something genuinely entrepreneurial.

What matters is that you can sit alongside a Founder and bring the experience, commercial judgement and calmness to say:

“Here’s what matters. Here’s what we need to build. And here’s how we’re going to scale it.”

This is a chance to get involved right at the beginning.

Not once everything has already been built.

Not once all the big decisions have been made.

Now.

Come in. Help build the foundations. Help shape the model. Help raise the next round. Help turn an incredible idea into a scalable business.
