Chief Financial Officer

SF Executive have been retained by a private equity backed software and services business in Central London - the business is hugely successful, with international operations and has EBITDA of c£15m and growing. The role will sit at Group level but closely oversee the financial performance of two chunky trading businesses in very different spaces. Both business contribute relatively equally to group EBITDA. Without seeking to be clichéd, the role will be a true business partner to The Board and will sit shoulder to shoulder with a hugely engaging CEO as the business continues to grow and potentially go through some kind of equity transaction in the next three years. Given all of the above, we are looking for a confident, communicative and resilient CFO who has already operated in a standalone role and ideally has led an exit transaction for investors / private shareholders. Whilst the EV of said transaction is not important per se, precedence will be given to candidates who, as CFO, have led larger deals. A modern, forward thinking organisation, the majority of the team are out in the field most days but fully engaged in growing and developing the business - as such you'll likely be based in London or the South East and be happy and dare we say wanting to spend at least two or three days a week in amongst it at the office. This is a big role within an organisation where you'll be continually challenged - but you'll have some fun along the way. A significant package and sweet equity pot will exist for the successful candidate - by anyone's standards there will be a window into an interesting wealth creation opportunity. Please be encouraged to submit your details but please be aware that in a practical sense, we will only be able to get back fully to relevant candidates.
