Description:

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.

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
