PE-Backed Software Business
Location: London (Hybrid) Renumeration: £300k base + bonus + equity SB1905
Finatal are working on an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious, commercially driven CFO to join a high-growth, private equity-backed software business entering a pivotal stage of its journey.
With £100m ARR, international operations, and a clear value creation strategy underway, the business is seeking a strategic finance leader capable of helping drive the company toward a planned exit over the next two years.
Working closely with the CEO and highly regarded leadership team, the successful candidate will play a central role in shaping the next phase of growth, both organically and through M&A. The CFO will sit on the Board as a true strategic partner, helping steer the business through scale, transformation, acquisition activity, and ultimately a successful transaction process within two years.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
