About the Role
SF Search Partners are working with a mid-market PE house to find a high quality Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for their £15m (and growing) EBITDA group within the business to business services space.
Working alongside a hugely talented and experienced CEO, you will be responsible for bringing this group together, driving organic growth into existing businesses, and then delivering ongoing M&A through this investment cycle.
The wider plan is to get the group to between £25m and £30m of EBITDA before transacting an exit, likely into a secondary PE deal or trade.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The organisation in question has chunky project / consultancy revenues as well as recurring managed services revenues.
Requirements
Given the above, you will have previously been the CFO of a PE backed business with revenue streams that are relevant to the above - you will have delivered cradle to grave M&A including full integration and synergy derivation - you will ideally have brought all of this together to a positive exit for shareholders within a business that is at or near to double digit EBITDA.
The business in question has sites in the Midlands and South East / London - as such you will be willing and able to be present at all of these sites relatively regularly and have the freedom and willingness to be 'out and about' rather than at home - this said we'd expect that you'd only be between offices around three days per week.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Given the likely secondary deal, we are ideally looking for CFOs with the ability to roll a proportion of their equity take into a new transaction and go again.
Compensation
The role will deliver a decent annual reward and an equity package of seven figures, not necessarily starting with a one.
