Job Description

We are seeking a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to lead WeShall’s finance function and support our next phase of growth. Reporting to the Executive Chairman and Managing Director, the CFO will be a core member of the executive team and a key strategic partner in decision-making, financial governance, and investor relations. They will serve as a key member of the executive team and as the primary liaison between the firm and the portfolio companies on financial matters. The role is responsible for overseeing all aspects of financial planning and analysis, stakeholder communications, capital structuring, and financial governance across the portfolio. The CFO will lead a team across Finance, IT, and HR, fostering a culture of accountability, excellence, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate will bring a combination of operational finance expertise, strategic foresight, and inclusive leadership. They will be as comfortable building dashboards, developing business valuation models, and forecasting models as they are presenting to the Board and mentoring high-potential talent. Experience leading financial due diligence efforts will be important, along with a track record of mergers and acquisition work in PE-backed environments—particularly in capital raises, exit strategy planning, and integration of acquired businesses.
