Opportunity

What\'s the opportunity?

If you\'re a top quality Chief Financial Officer / Finance Director who\'s frustrated with the confines of a normal corporate life and you\'re looking for something different, or you\re an independent CFO who\'s already made the break from corporate life, or a working or returning CFO parent who wants 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 £2-50M private businesses, supporting business owners to climb their Everest.

We\'re not interested in people who just want a job. You\'ll help our clients reach those summits, you\'ll be a self-starter with ambition, energy, and a \'can do\' attitude, who has a passion to help our clients, typically business owners, entrepreneurs, CEOs or MDs.

You\'ll thrive on the challenge and autonomy of growing your own portfolio of clients, supported by an incredible network of CFOs based across the world. We have big dreams, and we expect you to have the same.

What you need to have

• Qualified from one of the UK\'s major chartered accounting institutes.
• Have been a real-life CFO/FD once, twice or several times, with strong experience and understanding of commercial finance, business strategy, and a track record of success.
• Strong ability to build genuine long-lasting relationships with clients; treat clients as partnerships for the long term.
• Willingness to work closely with Regional Director and a team of CFO/FDs in a collegiate environment.

We pride ourselves on being a great place to work, with family at our core, as is often found in our own clients\' operations.

How it works

The role is self-employed, while operating within a defined model, combining the benefits of being part of a team and supported by a well-established organisation, but with a level of autonomy and freedom in how you deliver outcomes for clients.

Not simply feeding you fish, but teaching you to catch them and to build a portfolio career that can be game-changing for clients and yourself. You\'ll love the challenge, variety and interest of working for multiple clients and appreciate the flexibility this way of working provides.

We are the UK & Global Market leading provider of part-time Finance Directors and Chief Financial Officers services to mid-sized businesses, for those that don\'t want, don\'t need, or can\'t afford a full-time CFO/FD but want access to that skillset on an affordable part-time basis.

Who are we?

We\'re 700+ people, in 5 continents, operating across multiple regions in the UK & Ireland. We started The CFO Centre to change the game for mid-tier businesses.

You\'ll join a collective team of former CEOs, Executives, CFOs, FDs and successful business owners who count themselves at the top of the game, with thousands of years of collective experience to help our clients\' businesses succeed.

We\'re a movement of people who left corporate life seeking a freedom-based lifestyle. This isn\'t about retiring or relaxing on a beach; it\'s about doing something purposeful and being the captain of your own ship.

What do we do?

We define and deliver the numbers that really matter. We help our clients find the indicators that make a difference to both their business and their lives, supporting growth, acquisition, consolidation, or setting them up for the lifestyle they want.

We want to continue to change the game and are looking for a game changer to join us. Apply now if this sounds like you!
