Interim CFO - Professional Services (PE-Backed)
Location: London (Minimum 2 days a week in-office)
Day Rate: £800-£1000pd, outside IR35 (or c£190k FTC with benefits including healthcare, pension 3%, phone bill expenses, 28 days AL)
Outside IR35 | 3-Month Initial Contract (Potential to Extend to 6 Months)
Immediate Start

A dynamic, purpose-driven professional services company is seeking an Interim CFO to support a period of transition and growth. This role is crucial as the company prepares for a key board meeting in December, year-end close in January, and the start of a finance transformation initiative.

About the Company:
The business is a rapidly growing, PE-backed advisory firm focused on helping brands solve complex societal and environmental challenges. With a turnover of £10m, they operate in both the UK and India and are on a growth trajectory, aiming to expand further through senior leadership hires and potential M&A activity.

Their culture is purpose-driven, fast-paced, and international, with a strong commercial focus on EBITDA and sustainability. They need someone who thrives in an evolving, hands-on environment and is comfortable driving change at pace.

The Role:
This position is available due to the departure of a permanent FD who is unable to continue in the role. The Interim CFO will oversee key financial operations, lead the year-end close process, and contribute to the review and restructuring of the finance function.

Key responsibilities include:

  1. Leading the preparation for the December board meeting, including creating a solid business case for the future direction.
  2. Managing the year-end close (January).
  3. Initiating a full review of finance processes and systems, including the migration to a new accounting package.
  4. Overseeing the restructuring of the finance and commercial parts of the business.
  5. Onboarding and mentoring an FP&A Analyst in the UK.

The ideal candidate will have significant PE experience, particularly within professional services, and a hands-on CFO background. Experience with revenue recognition (timesheets), system migrations, and working with a diverse, international team will be key.

The Ideal Candidate:

  1. CFO experience, ideally with a controllership background due to the year-end process.
  2. Proven ability to manage ambiguity and change, especially within a PE-backed environment.
  3. Strong commercial acumen and a hands-on approach to leadership.
  4. Experience in professional services, with a solid understanding of revenue recognition and financial reporting processes.
  5. Comfortable working in a high-energy, international office with a mix of young professionals.

Do reach out if this is of interest. Due to the quantity of applications, we may struggle to provide feedback to all unsuccessful applications.
