CFO – High Growth Fintech / SaaS Scale-up (VC Backed) - London
We’re excited to have been retained by one of the UK’s most innovative, AI-led, B2B fintech businesses as they appoint a CFO to help lead the next phase of their growth journey.
Having raised a significant Series B this year, attracting top venture capital investors, the business has developed a market-leading, AI-driven platform that is transforming their industry. With revenue doubling year-on-year, they are forecasting this to continue as they begin to scale internationally into the US.
With a rapidly expanding customer base, the company is now entering an exciting period of scale, with product innovation and international growth, and are looking for a CFO to help the business to continue scaling from Series B onwards.
