Overview

What’s the opportunity?

If you’re a top quality Chief Financial Officer / Finance Director who wants something different from a normal corporate life, or an independent CFO, or a working/returning CFO parent seeking more work flexibility and work-life balance, this could 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 seeking people who want to build a portfolio of clients with autonomy and impact, not just a job.

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

What do you need to have?

You need to be qualified from one of the UK’s major chartered accounting institutes and have real-life CFO/FD experience, with strong experience in commercial finance, business strategy, and a track record of success. Your special sauce is the ability to build genuine long-lasting relationships with clients. You’ll be a part CFO, part advisor, part strategist, part friend. Clients will say that The CFO Centre is in it for the long term and that you really care.

Working closely with your Regional Director and a team of CFOs/FDs in a collegiate environment, you’ll join a great place to work with family values at its core.
