What’s the opportunity?

If you’re a top-quality Chief Financial Officer / Finance Director frustrated with traditional corporate life, or an independent CFO seeking new opportunities, this role might be for you. You'll provide CFO services to ambitious private businesses (£2-50M), supporting business owners to achieve their goals.

We’re looking for proactive, energetic individuals with a passion for helping clients, capable of building long-term relationships with business owners, entrepreneurs, CEOs, or MDs.

You will grow your own portfolio of clients with support from a global network of CFOs. Our environment fosters collaboration, growth, and a family-like culture.

What do you need to have?

Qualified from a major UK chartered accounting institute, with experience as a CFO/FD, strong commercial finance and business strategy skills, and a genuine ability to build lasting client relationships.

Work closely with your Regional Director and team in a supportive, collegiate environment.

“I love the family feel of working here. People genuinely care, and you’re not just a number...”

How does it work?

The role is self-employed within a defined model, offering autonomy, flexibility, and support. You’ll build a portfolio of clients, working on multiple projects, and adding value with each engagement.

We’re the UK & global leader in part-time CFO services for mid-sized businesses, providing access to high-level financial expertise on an affordable, flexible basis.

Who are we?

With 700+ staff across 5 continents, we’re a movement of experienced professionals dedicated to transforming mid-tier business finance.

“I started here 4 years ago, loving the lifestyle, challenge, and impact I can make...”

We’re about purposeful work, freedom, and being the captain of your own ship.

What do we do?

We help clients identify and deliver the key numbers that matter—driving growth, acquisitions, consolidation, or lifestyle changes.

“Working with The CFO Centre has been a game changer...”

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