Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Looking for your next CFO role?

Whether you’re looking to secure your first, or next Chief Financial Officer role, the team are on hand to guide you every step of the way. 

A Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for investor backed businesses is critical in delivering the financial stability and growth of the organisation.

Commercially strategic, growth-conscious, and expected to have an unwavering grasp of the numbers at all times, the post-COVID era has resulting in the role of the CFO transitioning back towards a strong accountancy skillset, and an innate ability to translate these numbers into a story for current and prospective investors.  

As responsibilities across IT, Change, and Transformation have fallen under the CFO remit, the modern Chief Financial Officer is expected to possess the ability to manage stakeholders from outside the finance department seamlessly, and be operationally plugged into the business. This functional understanding of business operations translates to swift and decisive financial decision-making, driving business performance within budget.
