Highly flexible hybrid working

In a subscription-based business, cash flow and working capital are critical. This isn’t just about understanding numbers—it’s about uncovering the ‘why’ behind them. Think…Why are trade debtors increasing, and what’s the solution?

You’ll be at the forefront of high-level discussions, working with the CFO, CEO, board members, and private equity sponsors. The focus will be on cash flow, debt, and working capital—delivering actionable insights, not just spreadsheets.

This is about taking analysis and turning it into a compelling story. It’s strategic financial modelling without needing to be an Excel wizard—more about interpreting the data, understanding the outputs, and key decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain and update the financial model for balance sheet and cash flow forecasting, integrating re-forecast cycles.
• Deliver monthly net working capital and cash flow analysis, developing and monitoring key performance indicators.
• Identify risks related to liquidity and inefficiencies in working capital proposing and implementing improvement plans.
• Recommend and lead process improvements to optimise working capital.

Comfortable with high-level exposure and discussions, with no P&L responsibility required.

What’s In It for You?

Direct access to the CFO, CEO, and board, giving you high-level influence and visibility.

The chance to collaborate on financing initiatives and work closely with private equity sponsors and major lenders.
