Finatal are seeking a commercially astute and strategically minded Chief Financial Officer to join a dynamic, private equity-backed business services group. With current EBITDA of £30 million, the business is embarking on an ambitious buy-and-build growth strategy targeting £75 million EBITDA over the next investment cycle.

About the Role

As CFO, you will be a key member of the executive leadership team, partnering closely with the CEO and private equity sponsors to drive financial performance, M&A execution, and strategic value creation. You will lead all aspects of financial management, including:

  • Oversee debt financing, covenant compliance, and treasury operations
  • Drive M&A activity including modelling, due diligence, and post-deal integration
  • Build and optimise reporting frameworks for board and investor communications
  • Develop a robust finance function capable of supporting rapid inorganic growth
  • Partner with operational leaders to improve margin and cash conversion
  • Support exit planning and value crystallisation

What We're Looking For

  • Prior CFO or senior finance leadership experience in a PE-backed business
  • Proven success in buy-and-build strategies, ideally in business services or adjacent sectors
  • Strong understanding of debt financing, including refinancing, covenant management, and lender relations
  • Experience with PE reporting standards, KPIs, and board-level stakeholder management
  • Commercial acumen and ability to influence strategic decision-making
  • Hands-on approach with the ability to scale systems, teams, and processes
  • Exposure to exit processes (trade sale, secondary buyout, IPO desirable)
