CFO B2B Services Business
- Permanent
North East England
The details
Marks Sattin Executive Search is working with a fast-growing, B2B business operating in a campaign and asset-led environment. With strong commercial momentum, expanding operations across multiple regions, and a clear plan to significantly scale EBITDA, the business is entering an exciting new phase of growth and professionalisation. The CFO will play a central role in accelerating this journey, partnering with the board to evolve the finance function, enhance commercial visibility, and support both organic and acquisitive growth. This includes building scalable infrastructure, improving forecasting and reporting, and supporting strategic initiatives across the business
Working closely with the leadership team, the CFO will influence decision-making across the business by providing financial clarity around performance, cash flow, budgeting, and investment planning.
