We are looking for CFOs in the B, SY, CW, ST, TF, WS, WV, and DY postcodes. If you’re a top quality Chief Financial Officer / Finance Director who’s frustrated with the confines of a normal corporate life or an independent CFO seeking more work flexibility and work-life balance, then this might be for you.
You’ll be responsible for providing CFO services to ambitious £2-50M private businesses, supporting business owners to climb their Everest. We’re not interested in people who just want a job. You’ll help our clients reach those summits, being a self-starter with ambition, energy, and a ‘can do’ attitude, with a passion to help our clients, typically business owners, entrepreneurs, CEOs or MDs.
You’ll thrive on the challenge and autonomy of growing your own portfolio of clients, supported by an incredible network of CFOs based across the world. We have big dreams, and we expect you to have the same.
What do you need to have?
- Qualified from one of the UK’s major chartered accounting institutes.
- Experience as a real-life CFO/FD with strong understanding of commercial finance and business strategy.
- Track record of success and natural ability to build genuine long-lasting relationships with clients.
Your clients will say “this person and The CFO Centre are in it with me for the long-term, and I know they really care”. You will work closely with your Regional Director and team of CFO/FDs in a highly collegiate environment. We pride ourselves on being a great place to work, with family at our core.
The role is self-employed, operating within a defined model, combining the benefits of being part of a team and supported by a well-established organisation, but with autonomy in how you deliver outcomes for clients. Rather than feeding you fish, we teach you how to catch them and how to build a portfolio career that can be a game changer for clients and yourself.
You’ll love the challenge, variety, and interest of working for multiple clients and appreciate the flexibility this way of working provides. A great listener, and even better at asking great questions, you’ll wake up every day thinking “how do I build my portfolio today” and then as your portfolio builds, “how do I add value and do something special for my clients today?”.
