The details

Marks Sattin Executive Search is working with a high-growth, PE-backed B2B SaaS business. Built on a proven subscription model, the company has achieved strong commercial traction and is now entering its next phase of scale, professionalisation, and value creation in preparation for a successful exit.

The business is seeking a strategic CFO to partner with the CEO and SLT, providing financial leadership, commercial insight, and robust decision support. This role will take full ownership of the finance function, with responsibility for performance reporting, forecasting, cash management, and lender reporting, including covenant compliance.

The CFO will also play a pivotal role in shaping the strategic and commercial direction of the business, embedding scalable systems and processes, driving operational excellence, and ensuring the finance function supports accelerated growth. Crucially, the CFO will work closely with the Board and private equity investors to maximise value creation and lead the business through its exit journey.

Uniquely, the client would also consider an ambitious candidate on an upward trajectory, taking a step up into their first autonomous CFO role and joining a fast-growing PE-backed business with real potential for value creation.

The Ideal Candidate

  • A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, ACMA).
  • Experience in PE-backed subscription-based SaaS, B2B technology, or tech-enabled businesses
  • Strong commercial acumen, with a proven ability to influence strategic decision-making.
  • Track record of scaling finance functions and embedding robust systems, processes, and reporting frameworks in high-growth environments.
  • Demonstrated success in driving operational improvements and establishing KPI-led performance management.
  • Transaction Services, M&A, or deal experience with the capability to support and lead the business through a PE exit.
  • Gravitas to operate as a true business partner to the CEO, Board, and investors.
  • Highly effective communicator, with strong presentation and analytical skills.

Please note due to a high volume of applications, only successful candidates will be contacted with further information.
