What's the opportunity?

If you're a top-quality Chief Financial Officer / Finance Director who is frustrated and fed up with the confines of a normal corporate life and you're looking for something different, or you're an independent CFO who has already made the break from corporate life, or a working or returning CFO parent seeking more work flexibility and work-life balance, then read on — this might be for you.

You'll be responsible for providing CFO services to ambitious GBP 2-50M private businesses, supporting business owners to climb their Everest.

They are not interested in people who just want a job. You'll help their clients reach those summits, and you'll be a self-starter with ambition, energy, and a can-do attitude, passionate about helping clients, typically business owners, entrepreneurs, CEOs, or MDs.

You will thrive on the challenge and autonomy of growing your own portfolio of clients, supported by an incredible network of CFOs based worldwide. They have big dreams, and they expect you to share that vision.

What do you need to have?

You need to be qualified from one of the UK's major chartered accounting institutes and have been a real-life CFO/FD multiple times, with strong experience and understanding of commercial finance, business strategy, and a track record of success. Your special strength is your ability to build genuine, long-lasting relationships with clients — being part CFO, part advisor, part strategist, part friend. Clients will say that this person and The CFO Centre are in it for the long-term, and they genuinely care.

Work closely with your Regional Director and team of CFO/FDs in a highly collegiate environment. They pride themselves on being a great place to work, with family at their core, as often reflected in their clients' operations.

How does it work?

The role is self-employed, operating within a defined model that combines the benefits of being part of a team and supported by a well-established organization, with autonomy in how you deliver outcomes for clients.

Instead of just being given fish, they teach you how to catch them and how to build a portfolio career that can be a game changer for both clients and yourself. You'll love the challenge, variety, and interest of working with multiple clients and will appreciate the flexibility this work style provides. A good listener and excellent at asking insightful questions, you'll start each day thinking about how to build your portfolio and, as it grows, how to add value and do something special for your clients.

They are the UK and global market leaders in providing part-time Finance Directors and CFO services to mid-sized businesses. Their focus is on businesses that don't want, need, or can afford a full-time CFO/FD but still want access to that expertise on a part-time, affordable basis.

Who are they?

They are a team of over 700 people across 5 continents, operating in multiple regions of the UK and Ireland. They started to revolutionize support for mid-tier businesses.

You will join a collective of former CEOs, executives, CFOs, FDs, and successful business owners, many of whom have experienced success at the highest levels. They are like the Avengers team of finance professionals.
