Fractional CFO | Fintech Scale-Up

Key Responsibilities

• Own the monthly reporting cycle and produce a board pack the founders and investors can rely on.
• Build and maintain the cash flow forecast and drive the operating model against it.
• Take ownership of ARR, retention and unit economics reporting across an enterprise SaaS revenue base.
• Lead commercial modelling on pricing, contract structures and new market entry.
• Manage the statutory accounts, audit and R&D tax credit process with external advisors.
• Put in place the financial controls and processes the business will be measured against at the next raise or transaction.
• Support the founders on investor reporting and fundraising preparation.
• Act as a commercial sounding board to a founding team from a trading rather than finance background.

Essential Experience

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified.
• Track record as a CFO or FD in a VC-backed B2B software or FinTech business.
• Comfortable operating fractionally: able to land quickly, prioritise ruthlessly and work without a team underneath you.
• Strong commercial modelling and forecasting, with the ability to translate it for a non-finance audience.
• Experience building a finance function from a standing start rather than inheriting one.

Desirable Experience

• Experience taking a business through a funding round or a sale process.
