Chief Financial Officer - PE-Backed Technology/MSP/Consultancy - £150k + Benefits + Bonus

FJR Executive is partnering with a Greater Manchester based, PE-backed technology business with turnover in excess of £50 million.

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 £150,000+ 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.
