Chief Financial Officer

Liverpool/Hybrid

We’re partnering with a well-established and purpose driven Not-for-Profit at a pivotal stage of transformation, who are seeking an experienced Chief Financial Officer to join the Executive Team.

This is a genuinely strategic CFO role, combining financial leadership, investment oversight, and future growth strategy. You’ll play a critical role in safeguarding and optimising significant financial reserves, shaping long-term investment strategy, and ensuring the organisation’s capital is deployed responsibly, transparently, and in line with its mission.

The opportunity

• Executive ownership of financial strategy, controls, and performance
• Oversight of investment portfolios (working closely with investment partners), asset allocation, and reserves management
• Close partnership with the CEO and Board on long-term financial sustainability that encourages growth and scalability
• Leadership of risk, audit, and governance frameworks
• Influence over strategic planning, pricing, and organisational growth initiatives
• Key player in the successful delivery of digital transformation initiatives

Key areas of focus

• Developing and executing investment strategies that balance return, risk, and liquidity
• Stewardship of cash, reserves, and longer-term capital planning
• Board-level reporting on financial health and risk exposure
• Ensuring strong regulatory compliance and governance best practice
• Leading budgeting, forecasting, and financial modelling to support strategic decisions

About you

• Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent)
• Significant senior finance leadership experience
• Strong background in investment management, asset allocation, or reserve strategy
• Confident operating at Board and Trustee/Committee level
• Values-led, commercially astute, and comfortable balancing mission with financial discipline
• Charity or regulated-sector experience is helpful, but not essential. They’re looking for the mindset of the corporate world, with the empathy required for a Not for Profit

Location & package

• Liverpool (circa twice p/w in office)
• Salary, up to £125k + bonus

If you’re a strategic CFO who enjoys a broad remit, this is a rare opportunity to make a meaningful impact while operating at the highest level.
