Financial Services | High-Growth Entrepreneurial Business
£160,000 + Equity + Excellent Benefits
TRIBE Recruit is delighted to be partnering with a highly successful, entrepreneurial financial services business to appoint an outstanding Chief Financial Officer.
This is an exceptional opportunity to join a profitable, ambitious organisation entering the next phase of its growth journey. Working closely with the Founder and leadership team, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping strategy, driving commercial performance, scaling the business and preparing for a future exit.
We're looking for far more than a technical finance leader. This role requires a commercially astute CFO who thrives in high growth SME environments, enjoys rolling up their sleeves and can balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
The Opportunity
As CFO, you will:
- Act as a true commercial partner to the Founder and Board.
- Drive strategic planning, financial performance and business growth.
- Lead funding, investment and future exit readiness.
- Build robust financial controls, reporting and governance.
- Provide commercial insight to support key business decisions.
- Develop financial models, forecasting and cash flow management.
- Lead and develop the finance function as the business scales.
- Work across the wider business to improve profitability and operational performance.

- A proven track record of supporting or leading a successful business exit, sale or private equity transaction.
- Strong commercial acumen with the ability to influence strategic decisions.
- A hands-on approach—you'll be comfortable operating at both board level and in the detail when required.
- Experience building high-performing finance functions within growing businesses.
- Excellent leadership, communication and stakeholder management skills.
- ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification (or equivalent).
