Candidate overview

This ACA-qualified Finance Leader combines strategic insight with hands-on delivery across complex, multi-entity organisations. They’ve led finance functions through transformation across not-for-profit, PE-backed, and family-run businesses – with a strong track record of driving control, improving reporting, and embedding long-term financial sustainability.

They’ve worked across sectors including wholesale, retail, and financial services, and are known for clear thinking, a people-first approach, and strong operational grip. Their sweet spot? Organisations that need someone credible at Board level, but practical enough to get stuck into the day-to-day and deliver lasting change.

Highlights include:

  • Modernised reporting, planning and board packs – including BI dashboards now used nationally

  • Delivered major ERP and systems upgrades – finance, HR, CRM and reporting transformed under their leadership

  • Restructured teams, improved engagement and built a culture of continuous improvement

  • Played a key role in PE-backed acquisitions – from due diligence through to integration

  • Reduced month-end close timelines by 40%, strengthened cash control and delivered six-figure savings

  • Built financial models, investment strategies, and reserves policies to support long-term sustainability

They’re calm, commercial and credible – with the experience and energy to reshape your finance function for the better.
