Chief Financial Officer

Chief Financial Officer - PE-Backed Technology/MSP - £175k Benefits Bonus

FJR Executive is partnering with a Greater Manchester-based, PE-backed technology business with turnover in excess of £50 million. At this stage the client is only considering candidates who are currently based in the NORTH-WEST of the UK.

This company has experienced significant growth and is now searching for an exceptional Chief Financial Officer to lead its finance function. The ideal CFO candidate will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) with a strong academic record and experience working within a rapidly expanding technology, managed services, or consultancy business. Prior experience in a PE/VC-backed environment is essential, as the company is currently mid-way through its investment cycle and expects to raise additional funding in the next 18-24 months. Recent involvement in a similar capital raise process is a prerequisite. As a member of the Board, the CFO must possess outstanding interpersonal and communication abilities to effectively engage with internal and external stakeholders.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Leveraging private equity and exit expertise
• Demonstrating strong stakeholder management skills, including banking relationships
• Proven working capital management capabilities
• Technology sector experience (managed services, IT services, B2B services)
• A data-driven mindset to collaborate with peers like the Sales Director on pipeline, conversion, revenue recognition
• Cultural alignment with the CEO and management team
• M&A transaction experience
• Previously operating in a larger business (revenue, EBITDA, headcount) than the current business
• Based in the Northwest with a hybrid model of 3 office days per week

Package

The compensation package includes a £175,000 base salary, executive benefits, and bonus. This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially astute CFO to guide the finance team through the next investment cycle and play an integral leadership role.
