Partner with Headteachers to improve financial and operational performance. Lead board reporting and investor presentations. Manage lender relationships and covenant reporting. Support exit planning and equity story development. Support due diligence and post-acquisition integration. Lead and develop FP&A and finance teams. Ensure robust controls, reporting, and governance.
