The Opportunity

My client is a PE-backed enterprise software group who has recently completed an acquisition and is looking for a quasi Interim Finance Director / Finance Transformation Director to support with the integration into the group. This is a hands-on mandate to take hold of the commercials, professionalise finance operations, and fully integrate the business into the wider group. There is genuine scope to extend beyond the project into broader M&A and strategic finance transformation work across the group.

The Mandate

• Scope the full customer and supplier contract base, mapping what's in place and where the gaps are
• Understand current pricing and where the business has historically underpriced
• Identify what needs to change across commercials, controls and processes
• Establish what's required to retain key customers and suppliers through the transition
• Bring finance processes and controls up to a proper standard
• Integrate management information and reporting onto the group platform
• Align supplier terms onto a consistent group basis
• Move customer contracts onto a pricing uplift
• Wrap robust governance and controls around the contract base

What we're looking for

• Strong commercial contracts knowledge; B2B essential, software helpful but not a must
• Proven on a finance integration project, ideally within an M&A context
• Someone who knows what "good" looks like and can install proper governance and controls quickly
• Private equity experience highly desirable
