Are you a strategic and hands-on CFO ready to lead a high-growth SaaS business through its next phase of scale?


We're working with a PE-backed software company poised to triple its ARR organically over the next 3-4 years.


With a strong product-market fit and a clear growth roadmap, this is an opportunity to shape the future of this business at a critical inflection point.


The Opportunity:

As CFO, you'll be a key strategic partner to the CEO and Board, responsible for driving financial performance, operational scalability, and long-term value creation. You'll lead the finance function through a period of rapid growth, professionalisation, and preparation for future value events.


What You'll Be Doing:

  • Own the financial strategy, planning, and performance management of the business
  • Build and lead a high-performing finance function, including FP&A, reporting, and controls
  • Drive operational efficiency and margin improvement across the business
  • Implement scalable systems, processes, and reporting frameworks
  • Lead on SaaS metrics, pricing strategy, and customer profitability analysis
  • Partner with commercial and operational teams to support data-driven decision-making
  • Act as the primary interface with the PE sponsor, ensuring alignment on KPIs and strategic goals
  • Support international expansion and readiness for future fundraising or exit


What We're Looking For:

  • Proven CFO; experience in a SaaS or tech-enabled business, that must be PE or VC-backed
  • Deep understanding of SaaS metrics (ARR, CAC, LTV, churn, Rule of 40, etc.)
  • Strong commercial acumen with a track record of driving growth and profitability
  • Experience scaling finance functions and implementing systems in high-growth environments
  • Confident working with investors and presenting at board level
  • ACA/ACCA/CIMA qualified or equivalent
