Chief Financial Officer – Buy & Build Platform | Cybersecurity/ Professional Services

Location: Remote with travel

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a commercially driven and strategically minded Chief Financial Officer to join a newly launched buy and build platform in the Cybersecurity & Professional Services sector. Backed by a successful private equity fund with a proven track record, the business is set to acquire and scale a group of complementary businesses across the UK and internationally.

With plans to complete over 30 acquisitions in the next five years, the aim is to build a market-leading group. This is a rare chance to shape a high-growth, private equity-backed business from inception and play a critical role in its strategic direction and execution.

The Opportunity:

As CFO, you will take full ownership of the finance function from day one, overseeing everything from systems, reporting and compliance to M&A, integration planning and investor relations. You’ll also take on broad operational responsibilities to deliver the growth strategy, making this an exciting opportunity for someone who is highly motivated to build a business.

The Ideal Candidate:

Experience in technology-led professional services; ideally cyber, but alternatively in people-based businesses with a strong understanding of key metrics such as utilisation, margin, and time tracking.
Proven M&A experience across the full deal lifecycle, from pre-deal assessment to acquisition and integration, ideally within industry, though advisory backgrounds will also be considered.
Demonstrated experience leading transformation projects, including implementation of new systems or processes.
Operational and strategic expertise, with a clear track record of commercial leadership beyond financial control.
Experience in both smaller and larger businesses, with the flexibility to be hands-on and manage broader responsibilities
Strong interpersonal and influencing skills, with the ability to adapt style and approach to different stakeholders.
Strong leadership capability, with a track record of building and managing lean, effective teams.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and implement the financial strategy to support rapid growth and international expansion

Build best-in-class financial processes, controls, and systems

Lead budgeting, forecasting, financial planning and analysis

Manage M&A activity, including due diligence, valuation and integration

Oversee preparation of financial reporting, board packs and fund reporting

Ensure compliance with all financial regulations and risk management frameworks

Build and develop a high-calibre finance team aligned with the growth trajectory
