Are you a CFO, FD, FC or senior finance leader or CXO looking to build a stronger portfolio career?
Do you want access to better clients, more local opportunities, experienced peers, live M&A activity, acquisition opportunities and founder relationships that can create long-term wealth rather than simply another day-rate assignment?
If so, we should talk.
We are building a growing community of ambitious CFOs and CXOs who believe there is a better way than operating as a lone wolf.
Today our network includes experienced finance leaders supporting founder-led businesses across the UK, with access to:
• 10,000+ profitable founder-led businesses
• Businesses typically generating £0.4m-£20m EBITDA
• 40+ active top private equity relationships
• Acquisition and exit specialists
• Funding, debt, FX, insurance and growth specialists
• Experienced CFO peers sharing opportunities, knowledge and support
Our community currently consists of 100 CFO/CXO members and continues to grow.
Why Join?
Many experienced CFOs discover that building a portfolio career can be rewarding but also frustrating.
Common challenges include:
• Travelling excessive distances
• Limited deal exposure
• Lack of mentoring and peer challenge
• Difficulty accessing acquisition and exit opportunities
• Having no clear route to wealth creation beyond day rates
Our objective is simple:
Help exceptional CFOs create more income, more influence and more long-term value.
What Makes This Different?
This is not a traditional recruitment business.
This is not another networking group.
This is not a franchise.
Instead, we are creating a collaborative CFO community built around opportunities, relationships, data, deal flow and shared success.
Members gain access to:
Better Local Opportunities
We actively help CFOs identify opportunities closer to home.
Many founders prefer local trusted advisers who can attend important meetings when required.
Less travel.
More impact.
Better lifestyle.
Founder Relationships
Connect with ambitious business owners who need:
• Strategic finance leadership
• Growth planning
• Exit preparation
• Acquisition support
• Funding readiness
• Board-level guidance
Live Exit & Acquisition Activity
Most CFOs only see a handful of transactions throughout their career.
Our community receives regular exposure to:
• Founder exits
• Acquisitions
• Private equity activity
• Buy-and-build opportunities
• Funding situations
• Value creation projects
The learning curve is significant.
Private Equity Access
Through our growing network, we engage with many of the UK's most active private equity buyers.
This provides insight into:
• What buyers really want
• How businesses are valued
• How value can be increased before sale
• What creates successful exits
• How CFOs can participate in wealth creation
For ambitious finance leaders, this experience can become a genuine route into future NED, Chair, PE portfolio or operating partner opportunities.
Income Opportunities
Members can benefit from multiple income streams.
Examples include:
• Fractional CFO assignments
• Recruitment referrals
• Corporate finance introductions
• Exit planning projects
• Acquisition support
• Funding introductions
• Specialist partner referrals
• Revenue-sharing opportunities
Our aim is to help members create sustainable income rather than continually chasing the next assignment.
The Power of Community
The strongest CFOs know they do not know everything.
Markets evolve.
Technology evolves.
Private equity evolves.
Founder challenges evolve.
Being surrounded by experienced peers creates:
• Better thinking
• Better solutions
• Better confidence

The next decade will create one of the largest waves of founder exits, acquisitions and ownership transitions the UK has ever seen.
The question is: Will you be watching it happen, or helping to lead it?
We believe the next 10 years will see the greatest transfer of privately owned UK businesses in a generation. Thousands of founders will need trusted advisers to help them grow, acquire, fund, professionalise and ultimately exit. Our members gain access to live market intelligence, benchmarking, specialist partners, founder communities and practical deal experience that most CFOs never see. Whether your ambition is to build a stronger portfolio career, secure more local clients, increase earnings, become a NED or Chair, or eventually work with Private Equity-backed businesses, this community can help accelerate that journey. Join early and help shape something genuinely different.
