Chief Financial Officer - Chelmsford & Ipswich

If you're a top quality Chief Financial Officer / Finance Director who's frustrated and fed up with the confines of a normal corporate life and you're looking for something different, or you're an independent CFO who's already made the break from corporate life, or a working or returning CFO parent who wants more work flexibility and work-life balance, then read on, 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; you’ll be a self-starter with ambition, energy, and a can-do attitude, who has 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?

• You need to be qualified from one of the UK’s major chartered accounting institutes.
• You should have been a real-life CFO/FD once, twice or several times over, with strong experience and understanding of commercial finance, business strategy, and a track record of success.
• Your special sauce is your natural ability to build genuine long-lasting relationships with our clients.

Part CFO, part advisor, part strategist, part friend. 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. Working 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, as is often found in our own clients' operations.

The role is self-employed, whilst operating within a defined model, combining the benefits of being part of a team and supported by a well-established organisation, but with a level of autonomy and freedom 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.

We’re the UK & Global Market leading provider of part-time Finance Directors and Chief Finance Officers services to mid-sized businesses. For those businesses that don’t want, don’t need and probably can’t afford a full-time CFO/FD, yet who want access to that skillset on an affordable part-time basis.

We’re a movement of people that left corporate seeking a freedom-based lifestyle. This isn’t about retiring or kicking back drinking pina coladas on a beach in Thailand. It’s about doing something purposeful and being the captain of your own ship. Freedom is loving what you do, and about having choice.

What do we do?

We define and deliver the numbers that really matter. We help our clients find the ones that really make a difference, not only to their business, but to their lives, and help deliver them! Whether that’s growth, acquisition, consolidation, or setting them up for the lifestyle they’ve always wanted.

We want to continue to change the game, and we are looking for a game changer to join us. Apply now if this sounds like you!
