This is an exciting opportunity to shape the financial strategy of a business making 10-15 acquisitions per year and drive continued growth through strategic investment projects.

  • Private Equity & Capital Raises: Support the CFO in debt and equity raises, providing financial analysis and models to attract further investment.

The Requirements:

  • Strong Academic Background: Degree from a top-tier university, ideally in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
  • Professional Qualification: ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent is highly desirable.
  • Commercial Acumen: Proven experience in a commercially focused finance role, ideally within a private equity-backed business or highly acquisitive company.
  • Technical Expertise: Strong understanding of financial reporting, data analysis, and the ability to work hands-on with financial models and systems.
  • Leadership & Initiative: Self-starter with a proactive attitude, able to manage multiple priorities, and with aspirations to take the next step towards becoming Finance Director.
  • Ambitious & Growth-Oriented: This role will challenge you to push boundaries, develop your skills, and drive your career forward.

Why Join?

  • Private Equity Exposure: Be part of a fast-paced, high-growth environment with strong PE backing.
  • Career Progression: Opportunity to work closely with the CFO and senior management, with a clear path to a Finance Director role.
  • Impactful Role: Directly influence business growth and investment strategy in a company expanding rapidly through acquisitions.
