Job Description

Title: Chief Financial Officer – Private Equity-Backed | £120m Revenue | Tech-Enabled Services.

Salary: £250,000 - £300,000 + Bonus + Equity

Location: London

Ref: IH9325

A well-established, Private Equity-backed tech-enabled services business is seeking a commercially minded Chief Financial Officer to help lead the company through the next stage of its growth and prepare for a successful exit in the next 18–24 months.

With current revenues of £120m, a healthy 30% recurring revenue base, and a presence across EMEA and the Americas, the business has made strong progress since PE investment in 2023—completing five bolt-on acquisitions and planning a further two to three in the near term. The CFO will play a key role in delivering the integration, performance, and strategic positioning needed to support this next phase and eventual exit.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead all aspects of financial strategy, reporting, forecasting, and controls
• Oversee M&A activity, including financial due diligence, integration, and performance tracking
• Develop and refine financial KPIs and internal reporting to support decision-making across the business
• Continue building and developing a high-performing finance function (currently a team of 12)
• Support international operations and help streamline finance processes across regions

The ideal candidate will bring:

• Prior CFO or senior finance leadership experience within a PE-backed or exit-focused environment
• A strong understanding of recurring revenue models and services businesses
• A track record of supporting M&A transactions and integration
• Experience operating across multiple geographies, ideally including EMEA and the Americas
• The ability to operate at both a strategic and operational level in a fast-paced environment

This is a hands-on role with significant exposure to the Board and investors, offering a clear path to value creation and equity realisation.
