Director - Office of the CFO | London (Hybrid)

You trained in practice, then moved into industry to get closer to the action. Since then you've led finance through transformation: new systems, leaner processes, month-end closes cut from weeks to days, and PE investors who wanted answers yesterday.

You've made a real impact. But lately you've found yourself wondering what it would be like to solve those problems for many businesses rather than just one.

This role gives you that chance.

The opportunity

A leading mid-market advisory firm with an international footprint is growing its Office of the CFO practice, providing senior finance leadership to ambitious businesses. They're looking for a Director in London who has lived through transformation from the inside and wants to bring that experience back into practice.

You'll:

  • Act as outsourced or interim CFO for a portfolio of PE-backed and owner-managed businesses.
  • Lead finance transformation work: systems, process streamlining, reporting, and controls.
  • Advise boards and investors on performance, funding, and transaction readiness.
  • Win and grow client relationships, and build a team around you.
  • Help shape the practice's strategy as part of its leadership team.

You are:

  • Practice-trained and qualified (ACA, ACCA or equivalent), now in a senior industry finance role or similar practice role.
  • Experienced in leading accounting streamlining and transformation.
  • Confident working with PE houses and investors.
  • Ready for variety, complex problems, and a route back into practice at senior level.

The package

  • Salary up to £140,000
  • Competitive bonus and uncapped commission
  • Private medical insurance
  • Enhanced pension and family leave
  • Hybrid working with 3 days a week in the London office.
