Listed Acquisition Vehicle
Our client is a listed financial services group that is currently engaged in a buy and build in its specialist sector and is led by a highly experienced and successful management team. With a significant high-quality acquisition already completed and a highly select group of supportive institutional investors, the company is well positioned to take the next step in achieving its stated aim of building the market leading position in its sector.
Description
To support this strategy, the Group CFO is looking to recruit an accountant capable of taking over all aspects of Group FP&A and provide support on intended additional M&A activity. You will also provide financial business partnering and technical financial support to acquired Group companies. The role will be standalone initially, working closely with the CFO, who has a strong M&A background, but will have close interaction with business unit finance teams.
Skills
Candidates should have high quality backgrounds, potentially with experience gained in larger Blue Chip companies, but it is important that you have made the move into a smaller company already and have a broad skill set covering all aspects of FP&A and ideally prior experience supporting M&A activity. Prior experience gained in a listed and/or regulated environment would be preferred, although the business does also have a significant private equity investor and operates in a private equity style.
This is an ideal opportunity for a high-quality finance generalist to join an acquisitive listed Group, working with an experienced management team, in what is a well-rounded role and ideal preparation for taking on a first CFO role within either a listed or private equity backed business.
