Financial Director
Finance Director | AI-Enabled Buy-and-Build | Build the Architecture, Own the Outcome
London (Moorgate) — Hybrid | £150K Base + Bonus + Meaningful Equity
STOIX is working on behalf of a well-funded, AI-enabled rollup rewriting the economics of a fragmented, legacy services sector. The kind of industry that is quietly enormous, recession-resistant, and completely ripe for consolidation. The founding team has built and exited in this space before. In under twelve months they have raised substantial capital across equity and debt and are scaling from circa £2M to £20M revenue this year, with a five-year target of £500M and a credible path to a multi-billion exit.
They are hiring a Finance Director. This is not a head of finance seat at a well-resourced scaleup. This is a "build the financial architecture of a future category leader" job.
The Role
Three things will define whether you succeed in this role.
Financial Integration
You will own the playbook end to end. Every acquired business arrives with imperfect records and systems, and a month-one reporting deadline. You treat each one as a puzzle to be solved quickly and cleanly. You have done this before, more than once, and you know what the first 30 days look like.
Finance Automation
You will build the automation stack that makes this finance function 10x leaner than any competitor's. AI-native tools, not slicker Excel add-ins. You have already shipped something that measurably saved time or money. You are the person who asks why we are still doing this manually, and then fixes it before the end of the week.
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.
Reporting and Control
You own the numbers. Group management accounts, statutory reporting across multiple entities, board packs that tell a clear story to institutional investors. Everything on time, every time. You build the infrastructure that scales from five acquisitions to fifty without the wheels falling off.
Beyond those three, you will work directly with the CEO and fractional CFO on commercial decisions, deal assessment, and investor relationships, with genuine line of sight to the full Group CFO seat as the business scales.
What We Need to See on Your CV
- ACA qualified, with a Big 4 or top 10 foundation. The technical accounting complexity here is real: acquisition accounting under UK GAAP, FRS 102, lease accounting, share incentive schemes, long-term contracts, multi-entity consolidation. You need to know this material, not learn it on the job.
- 8–10+ years of experience, with some time spent inside a buy-and-build, acquisitive, or multi-entity group environment. Not adjacent to M&A. Inside it.
- Genuine startup or early-stage experience. You have felt the chaos, operated without a fully-built team around you, and made good decisions with incomplete information.
- Demonstrable finance automation that shipped. Not a pilot. Not a proof of concept. Something that went live and saved real money.
- AI fluency that goes beyond awareness. We want to see what you have built or driven, not what you have read about.

The Profile
- Commercially wired: finance's job is to help the business make better decisions faster, not to police it
- High EQ and genuine executive presence: you can push back on a founder or investor constructively, with evidence, and get the outcome you need
- You move without being asked and do not wait for permission
- Honest about what you do not yet know; this role has a clear CFO pathway and we want someone who is building towards it, not someone who thinks they have already arrived
What This Is, and What It Is Not
This is the founding finance leadership hire at a business that is genuinely going somewhere. Equity that matters. A clear path to CFO. A founder who has done it before and knows what good looks like.
It is not a role where the systems are built and your job is to maintain them. It is not a steady-state position inside a large, well-oiled team. It is not a first move out of practice. It is not a 9-to-5.
If you have operated in the chaos of buy-and-build, shipped finance automation that actually worked, and you are ready to be part of a founding team that is changing an industry, we would like to hear from you.
