Chief Finance Officer - North East

Department: CFO / Finance Director

Employment Type: Contract

Location: North East

Reporting To: Zara Bickerstaffe

Description: Chief Financial Officer - Recruiting within the NE, CA, SR, DH, DL & TS postcodes. If you're a top quality Chief Financial Officer / Finance Director who's frustrated and fed up with the constraints 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, 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 we do? We define and deliver the numbers that really matter. Whether it's growth, acquisition, consolidation, or setting up for the lifestyle they've always wanted.

How does it work? 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 Director's and Chief Finance Officer's services to mid-sized businesses. For those who 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.

What do you need to have? You need to be qualified from one of the UK's major chartered accounting institutes and 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, while your "special sauce" is your natural ability to build genuine long-lasting relationships with our clients. Part CFO, part advisor, part strategist, part friend. 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 client's operations.

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!
