Job description

Chief Financial Officer

Recruiting for Glasgow

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 seeking something different, or an independent CFO who’s already made the break from corporate life, or a working or returning CFO parent wanting 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 private businesses (£2-50M), supporting business owners in reaching their goals.

We’re looking for individuals who are committed, ambitious, energetic, and possess a ‘can-do’ attitude, with a passion for helping 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 a network of CFOs worldwide. We have big dreams, and we expect you to share that vision.

What do you need to have?

You need to be qualified from one of the UK’s major chartered accounting institutes and have experience as a CFO/FD, with strong expertise in commercial finance, business strategy, and a successful track record. Your unique strength is your ability to build genuine, long-lasting relationships with clients—acting as a CFO, advisor, strategist, and trusted partner.

You will work closely with your Regional Director and team of CFO/FDs in a collaborative environment. We pride ourselves on being a supportive, family-oriented workplace.

How does it work?

The role is self-employed within a defined model, combining the benefits of team support and organizational backing with autonomy in delivering client outcomes.

Rather than just providing solutions, we teach you how to build a successful portfolio career that benefits both you and your clients. You’ll enjoy the variety, challenge, and flexibility of working with multiple clients, always seeking to add value and do something special for each.

Who are we?

We’re the UK & Global Market leader in part-time Finance Director and CFO services for mid-sized businesses—helping companies that don’t want, need, or can’t afford a full-time CFO, but still require that expertise on an affordable, part-time basis.

Who are we?

We’re 700+ people across 5 continents, operating in multiple regions in the UK & Ireland. Our team consists of former CEOs, CFOs, FDs, and successful business owners who bring a wealth of experience to empower our clients.

We’re a movement of people seeking a freedom-based lifestyle, focused on purposeful work and personal choice, not retirement or leisure.

What do we do?

We define and deliver the key numbers that matter—helping clients identify and achieve their most impactful goals, whether related to growth, acquisition, consolidation, or lifestyle planning.

Our clients have seen tangible results, such as doubled revenue and increased focus on strategic priorities.
