CFO

A leading organisation is looking for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to lead its financial strategy and operations. This role is ideal for a results-driven professional who thrives on data-based decision making, embraces digital transformation, and is committed to building a culture of accountability and continuous learning.

What you'll do:

As Chief Financial Officer, you will be entrusted with steering the organisation’s entire financial landscape through a blend of strategic vision and operational rigour. Your day-to-day activities will involve collaborating closely with executive leadership to set ambitious yet achievable financial targets while ensuring that every aspect of budgeting, forecasting, and planning is executed with meticulous care. You will champion digital transformation within finance by introducing automation technologies such as SAP that streamline processes and improve reporting accuracy. By implementing forward-thinking cost control measures and providing actionable insights based on comprehensive data analysis, you will help drive sustainable growth. Your ability to mentor teams will foster an environment where accountability flourishes alongside continuous professional development. Managing large-scale projects across departments will require your expert coordination skills as you ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements while proactively addressing potential risks. Success in this role means consistently delivering results that support both immediate objectives and long-term organisational health.

• Develop and execute comprehensive financial strategies that align closely with organisational goals while ensuring every decision is supported by thorough analysis and reliable data.
• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and long-term financial planning processes with exceptional attention to detail, providing clarity and direction for the entire finance function.
• Drive digital transformation initiatives within the finance department, including the implementation of automation tools and SAP systems to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
• Oversee all aspects of financial reporting systems to guarantee timely, accurate, and compliant outputs that support informed business decisions at every level.
• Implement robust cost control measures by identifying areas for improvement and delivering innovative financial solutions that contribute to sustainable growth.
• Provide clear leadership and mentorship to finance teams, nurturing a culture of accountability, continuous learning, collaboration, and high performance throughout the department.
• Manage large-scale financial projects involving cross-functional teams, demonstrating expertise in handling complex assignments for organisations with significant revenue streams over multiple years.
• Ensure strict adherence to all relevant financial regulations and internal controls by proactively identifying risks and developing effective mitigation strategies.
• Communicate complex data-driven insights clearly to both finance professionals and non-financial stakeholders, supporting transparency across the organisation.

What you bring:

To excel as Chief Financial Officer in this organisation, you will bring extensive experience from previous roles as both Business Controller and CFO—ideally within environments known for their complexity or scale. Your background should include hands-on involvement in SAP rollouts or similar digitalisation projects where you have demonstrated not only technical proficiency but also an ability to communicate benefits effectively across departments. Experience gained at leading consulting firms or Big 4 companies will be invaluable as it reflects your familiarity with industry-leading methodologies for project delivery and stakeholder management. Your interpersonal skills must be finely honed so you can nurture trust among colleagues while translating intricate data into actionable recommendations. A methodical approach underpins everything you do: from initial research through careful planning right up to flawless execution. Above all else, your commitment to accountability ensures that you take responsibility for both successes achieved collaboratively with your team as well as any challenges encountered along the way.

• Demonstrated experience as a Business Controller prior to holding a Chief Financial Officer position within sizeable organisations.
• Proven track record of guiding large finance teams through periods of change while maintaining high standards of accuracy, dependability, and collaboration.
• Hands-on expertise in SAP implementation as well as broader financial digitalisation initiatives that have delivered measurable improvements in efficiency or compliance.
• Background in Big 4 or top-tier consulting firms is highly preferred due to exposure to best practices in project management and stakeholder engagement.
• Exceptional communication skills with an ability to present complex data-driven insights clearly to diverse audiences across all levels of seniority.
• Experience managing large-scale projects involving cross-functional teams within companies generating significant revenue over extended periods.
• Deeply systematic approach characterised by careful learning, detailed planning, precise execution, and consistent follow-through on commitments.
• Highly organised work style complemented by a critical thinking mindset that prioritises evidence-based decision making over intuition or emotion.
