SF Search Partners are working with a private equity backed SAAS and technology organisation to source a rounded and communicative Chief Financial Officer. The organisation in question is on a very strong growth trajectory and needs a CFO that on the one hand can make sure the finance team and associated infrastructure are fit for purpose, but also work with the CEO to set and drive the strategic direction of the business. The business has international revenue streams both across Europe and the US. As well as private equity funding, the business also has a slug of external debt - ideally you will not only have experience of managing PE stakeholders but also the providers of debt solutions, instilling confidence into the providers of these funding mechanisms. Outside of the debt and funding piece, you will stand shoulder to shoulder with the CEO of the organisation to shape and drive strategy such that the business and its underlying infrastructure grows in a consistent and controlled way. At the right time you will also lead an exit on behalf of the CEO and current PE backers - that said, the Founders of the business are looking for someone to stay with them after this transaction if relevant - i.e. if this goes to a secondary PE deal you will roll some equity and stay around. In addition to having been a No 1 or No 2 FD / CFO in a standalone PE backed technology business, we'd ideally like to speak to CFOs that have experience of leading exit transactions within standalone companies. Candidates with experience of SAAS and technology sectors (and associated recurring revenue streams) would be of particular interest. We also need candidates with experience of managing international revenue streams - some knowledge of US trading / taxes would be of particular interest. This role will be largely remote / home based and so we need PE savvy candidates that are can manage this approach happily either because they find this appealing or currently working remotely. The package will consist of a generous salary - there will also be an equity allocation which will equate to a mid six / seven figure outcome at the end of the first investment cycle.
