Finatal is working with a global large-cap investor who require an interim CFO lead on a turnaround of a c£200m EBITDA industrials business with several failing business units across Europe. You’ll be working closely with the interim CEO who has led many businesses through effective turnarounds and investors who have a global presence across several industries. Whilst they do have significant US operations, it is the European entities which are the first topic for turnaround/transformation given recent consistent underperformance. You’ll restructure finance functions, both at group and divisional level, whilst liaising with banks and the CEO regarding debt financing/refinancing. One of your first tasks as interim CFO will be to build insightful MI through detailed financial analysis of industrial projects in order to streamline processes. Prior experience of plant closures and improving capital via asset sale and leaseback is strongly preferred. Extensive travel required.
Ideally, you’ll have a track record in:
- Turnarounds of businesses <£500m t/o
- Working in a leveraged or debt financed environment
- Restructuring international and divisional finance functions
- Business partnering with senior leadership and presenting to board
- Asset sale and leaseback
- ACA Qualified or big 4 trained
