We are supporting a private equity-backed business in the North West with a critical interim requirement for a highly experienced CFO to lead a high-profile exit process.
This is a significant transaction - the largest exit within the fund - with second round activity already underway and completion targeted within the next 6-8 weeks. With the incumbent CFO due to step away mid-process, the business requires an exceptional operator who can take full ownership of the transaction and see it through to completion.
The business operates in a fast-paced, consumer-led environment, with turnover in the region of £50m-£70m and strong EBITDA performance. All financial due diligence is complete, and the incoming CFO will be expected to step in immediately, get up to speed quickly, and lead from the front with minimal handover.
Key requirements:
*Proven track record delivering multiple PE-backed exits
*Strong transaction experience, with the ability to operate independently
*Credible, confident operator able to engage with investors and advisors
*Available to start immediately and commit through to completion
Assignment details:
*Start date: mid-April
*Duration: c. 6-8 weeks
*Initial onboarding remote, then predominantly site-based (North West)
This is a high-impact, time-critical assignment requiring a hands-on, delivery-focused CFO who thrives in deal environments.
