Finance Director for Family Office
I am searching for a Finance Director for a highly entrepreneurial, first-generation private family office based in Central London.
The Role
This is an unusually broad role combining senior financial leadership with genuine, hands-on investment involvement. The successful candidate will join the family board and Investment Committee and work closely with the founder, the next generation, Head of Family Office and investment professionals.
The investment portfolio spans public and private markets, with an increasing focus on direct minority investments in founder-led UK growth businesses. The Finance Director will be closely involved in sourcing, due diligence and the ongoing financial management of these investments, alongside responsibility for financial reporting, control, liquidity, investment accounting and the management of a small finance team.
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.
Qualifications
I am particularly interested in individuals who combine:
- A recognised accountancy qualification, ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent.
- Strong technical finance and financial-control credentials.
- Genuine investment understanding and direct investment experience.
- Experience across both public and private investments.
- Knowledge of private equity/fund structures, capital calls, distributions and NAV reporting.
- The commercial judgement to evaluate companies as investments, rather than simply account for them.
- Experience gained within a family office, investment office, private equity environment, investment manager, fund or similarly sophisticated investment organisation.

This would particularly suit someone who enjoys operating in a lean, entrepreneurial environment and is equally comfortable discussing investment opportunities, challenging external managers and advisers, and getting into the detail of financial analysis.
Remuneration
A highly competitive remuneration package is on offer which includes attractive basic salary, bonus, long-term carry and co-investment opportunities.
If this is of interest to you, or if someone in your network comes to mind, please contact me directly and confidentially on 020 7193 0064 or robin@douglaspartnership.com.
