Fractional Chief Financial Officer in Bradford

A unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in the next chapter of an already outstanding international business.
Pratap Executive is delighted to be supporting a highly successful, entrepreneurial business in the appointment of an experienced Fractional Chief Financial Officer.
This is a genuinely exciting opportunity to join a business that is already performing exceptionally well, but has the ambition, commercial relationships and opportunities to achieve significantly more.
Highly profitable, the business has built an outstanding commercial model, supporting some of the world's leading retailers and their manufacturing and supplier partners.
With an established international presence, an impressive track record of profitability and ambitious plans for further expansion, particularly internationally, the business is entering what could be a particularly exciting period in its development.
The opportunity
The initial requirement is to provide senior financial leadership during a period of maternity cover, with a structured handover ahead of February 2027.
However, this is far more than a conventional maternity cover assignment.
The ambition is to identify an experienced CFO who can quickly develop a strong understanding of the business, build a close working relationship with the CEO and potentially become a trusted strategic adviser as the business pursues its next phase of international growth.
During the initial assignment, responsibilities will include financial leadership across two principal P&Ls, oversight of reporting, forecasting and controls, and support for the established finance team.
Beyond this, there is the opportunity to contribute to some genuinely interesting commercial and strategic initiatives, including:
Supporting ambitious international growth, particularly across the US and other developing markets.
Providing strategic and commercial input into major customer relationships, contracts and negotiations.
