Job description

This role sits within a private equity-backed group of industrial manufacturing businesses with operations across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. The group generates approximately £120 million in annual revenue and comprises a number of established, profitable, and cash-generative trading entities.

The Opportunity

We are looking to appoint a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to work closely with the CEO, Board, and investors to support the continued development of the group.

This is a hands‑on role combining strategic input with day‑to‑day financial leadership across multiple international entities. The CFO will play a key role in improving reporting, strengthening financial controls, and supporting ongoing growth and operational improvements in a private equity environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide financial support and challenge to the CEO, Board, and business unit leaders to help drive performance and improve profitability.
  • Develop and maintain consistent monthly reporting, budgeting, and forecasting processes across the group, including preparation of consolidated accounts.
  • Oversee cash flow, working capital, and liquidity, including foreign exchange exposure where relevant.
  • Manage relationships with lenders and oversee borrowing facilities, including monitoring covenant compliance.
  • Establish and improve financial controls, systems, and processes across the group to support accurate reporting and governance.
  • Work closely with subsidiary finance teams and leadership to ensure alignment across international operations.
  • Support delivery of value creation initiatives in line with private equity objectives.

Required Experience

  • Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA).
  • Proven senior finance experience within a manufacturing or industrial business.
  • Experience working in a private equity‑backed environment or with external investors.
  • Track record of operating across multiple legal entities and international markets.
  • Experience managing consolidated group reporting and driving improvements in financial processes and controls.
  • Comfortable operating in a hands‑on role within a mid‑sized, growing business.
