Chief Financial Officer | PE-Backed B2B SaaS | Hybrid / once weekly travel to Leeds/Manchester
We are partnering with a private equity-backed B2B SaaS business as it enters its next phase of growth, investment and operational development.
This is an opportunity for a commercially minded CFO to help shape and scale a high-quality recurring revenue software business with strong growth ambitions and a collaborative, people-oriented culture.
We are looking for a CFO who has helped scale a recurring revenue software business from around £20m ARR to £45-50m ARR. This experience is an essential requirement for the role.
You will also bring experience from a private equity-backed environment, with a demonstrable track record of leading initiatives that improve operational performance, expand EBITDA margins and support ambitious growth plans.
Working closely with the CEO, Board and investors, the CFO will play a central role in supporting strategic growth, improving operational leverage, strengthening reporting and forecasting capability, and building the financial foundations required for continued scale.
