An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Chief Financial Officer to join a high profile retail business in Central London. The main focus will be supporting the strategic direction of the business as they enter a period of growth trajectory.

With complete responsibility of the finance function you will ensure the correct systems, processes and controls are in place to drive financial performance and continually identify opportunities for enhancement. As well as plans to grow organically, the business is looking to be active with M&A; therefore experience in this area will be sure to bolster your candidacy.

This is a unique opportunity to be a part of a reputable organisation with strong values and a passion for success and growth. The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant (ACA,ACMA,ACMA), preferably Chartered, and have a strong leadership background in retail or FMCG.
