Job description

SF Executive are working with a PE backed & high growth managed services and professional services software business near Reading to source a commercially minded and low ego Chief Financial Officer.

As right hand to the CEO and Investor, you will lead on all financial, management and statutory reporting as well as leading a top class finance function that has a presence in the UK and overseas.

You will be tirelessly focussed on revenue growth, new business opportunities, pricing and cost management - you will relish the chance to hold an already capable Board to account on all of these fronts.

Experienced in the 'tech enabled services' or 'professional services' industry and with a commercial understanding of associated recurring revenue streams, you will already have worked at CFO / FD level before and also will have ideally transacted an exit on behalf of shareholders - this could be for a Founder, PE house or both!

As such you will probably have worked in a stand alone / owner managed / PE backed business rather than a division or subsidiary of a group.

In the first instance we are looking for talented candidates that could start on a permanent basis within the next few months - a swift start off the back of a recent transaction is preferred.

Alongside a generous salary and package you will get the opportunity to take sweet equity and to work with a hugely talented and engaged Board to deliver a divestment of this business in the medium term.

The options package is expected to yield a seven figure return for the CFO in the next few years.

With the business and investor being located in the Thames Valley, we would prefer candidates to be based in this part of the world but are open minded for the right candidate with the right approach.
