FRACTIONAL CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER (CFO)
Fractional | Equity / Share Options Considered | Remote / Midlands
Opportunity
Most Fractional CFO assignments involve joining a business after the important decisions have already been made.
This opportunity is different.
The successful Chief Financial Officer will play a significant part in the strategic growth of the company from day one. Determining how the business is funded, scaled and positioned for future growth.
Working directly with the Founder and alongside experienced technical, operational and industry specialists, you will have genuine influence over funding decisions, capital allocation, future investment rounds and company strategy from the beginning.
This can be a straightforward fractional assignment, a long-term strategic relationship or potentially evolve into a larger role as the business grows.
Company
We are a tech startup, building an AI-powered platform that is a leap forward in how companies map out their business processes. We know the BPMN world, we have experienced leaders and the technical know-how.
The problem that we solve is significant. Process mapping is a prerequisite to making improvements to a business, such as implementing AI. It is also critical to prove compliancy to certain legislation. Our software does it faster and better, no matter what format the data is in, or how messy it is.
