Job description

Overview

Chief Financial Officer

Recruiting across the PE, NR & CB postcodes.

What’s the opportunity?

If you’re a top quality Chief Financial Officer / Finance Director who’s frustrated with corporate life and you’re looking for something different, or you’re an independent CFO, 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 provide CFO services to ambitious £2–50M private businesses, helping business owners to reach their Everest.

We’re not interested in people who just want a job. You’ll help our clients reach their summits, be a self‑starter with ambition, energy, and a can‑do attitude, and have 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 across the world. We have big dreams, and we expect you to have the same.

Responsibilities

• Provide part‑time to strategic CFO services to mid‑size private companies (£2–50M revenue) to improve financial performance and strategic direction.
• Build and manage a portfolio of client engagements with autonomy and accountability, in collaboration with the Regional Director and a network of CFO/FD colleagues.
• Partner with business owners, CEOs or MDs to deliver commercial finance, business strategy, and long‑term value creation.
• Operate within a defined model as a self‑employed professional while enjoying the support of a well‑established organisation.
• Develop lasting relationships with clients, acting as CFO, advisor, strategist and trusted partner.

What you need to have

• Qualified from one of the UK’s major chartered accounting institutes.
• Proven real‑life CFO/FD experience (multiple engagements or roles) with strong commercial finance and business strategy expertise.
• A proven track record of success and the ability to build genuine, long‑lasting client relationships.
• Ability to be a “part CFO, part advisor, part strategist, part friend” and earn client confidence.
• Comfort working closely with a Regional Director and fellow CFOs/FDs in a collaborative environment.
