Finatal is partnering with a high-growth private equity-backed B2B SaaS business to appoint its next Chief Financial Officer.
The company provides a market-leading software platform to SMEs, has reached £5m ARR, and is growing at 40% year-on-year. With ambitious plans to expand into the US, scale to £20m ARR, and ultimately deliver a successful private equity exit, this is a rare opportunity to join the executive team at a pivotal stage of growth.
Working closely with the CEO, Board and investors, you will build a finance function capable of supporting rapid international expansion while driving commercial performance and long-term value creation.
The Role
As CFO, you will:
- Partner with the CEO to execute the company’s growth strategy.
- Lead the finance function, owning all financial operations, reporting, FP&A and controls.
- Build scalable processes and systems to support the next phase of growth.
- Drive commercial decision-making through SaaS KPI reporting and financial insight.
- Support the company’s expansion into the US market.
- Lead Board and investor reporting while working closely with the private equity sponsor.
- Prepare the business for a successful exit, ensuring best-in-class financial governance and readiness throughout the value creation plan.
Candidate Profile
We’re looking for a commercially minded finance leader with experience scaling high-growth software businesses.
Essential requirements:
- Current or previous Number 1 finance leader (CFO, Finance Director or VP Finance with full ownership of the finance function).
- Experience within a private equity-backed B2B SaaS business.
- Strong understanding of SaaS metrics including ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV and Rule of 40.
- Experience supporting businesses through rapid growth, ideally from £5m-20m+ ARR.
- Confident partnering with CEOs, Boards and private equity investors.
- Hands-on leadership style with the ability to build teams, systems and processes in a scaling environment.
Experience of US expansion and delivering a successful transaction or exit would be advantageous.
The Opportunity
This is an opportunity to join an ambitious B2B SaaS business at a defining point in its growth journey. You’ll play a critical role in scaling the business from £5m to £20m ARR, leading international expansion, creating shareholder value and helping deliver a successful private equity exit.
This reads like a typical Finatal mandate—commercial, PE-focused, and explicit about the calibre of CFO required.
