Stanton House is partnering with a fast-growth, investor-backed SaaS business to appoint an experienced Interim CFO on an initial 3–6 month FTC (potential to extend or convert to permanent). Reporting directly to the CEO, this hands-on role will lead a finance function of seven, supporting rapid scale-up from ~£50m to £100m ARR and ensuring financial systems and reporting are robust, streamlined, and ready for potential acquisition due diligence.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the finance function, overseeing budgeting, reporting, and process improvements across the business.
Review, clean up, and optimise current financial processes, removing complexity and reliance on manual spreadsheets.
Implement robust systems, frameworks, and controls to support rapid scale-up and potential acquisition preparation.

Provide strategic financial insight to the CEO and board to drive business decisions.

Manage, coach, and develop a team of five direct reports across the UK and France.

Support forecasting, operational planning, and performance tracking aligned to growth targets.

Ensure timely, accurate, and insightful financial reporting for internal and external stakeholders.

Collaborate closely with commercial, HR, and operational teams to embed financial discipline and insight across the business.

To be suitable:

Proven finance leadership experience in a scale-up environment, ideally around £50m ARR.
Strong strategic mindset with experience preparing businesses for acquisition.
Experience in SaaS companies is essential.
Hands-on, proactive, and highly organised with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
Excellent stakeholder management skills, capable of working closely with a CEO and active board.
Strong leadership and coaching ability to develop and motivate a small finance team.
Track record of implementing scalable finance systems and process improvements.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a finance professional to make a tangible impact on a well-funded, investor-backed SaaS business, preparing the company for its next stage of growth and potential strategic exit.
