Or you’re already working independently and want to be part of something bigger without losing your identity and flexibility, this could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

The Opportunity

You’ll typically work with ambitious, privately owned businesses (typically £2–£50m turnover), who are carefully matched to you, your personality and skillset, mentoring, supporting and guiding them through growth, transformation, and all the challenges that come with scaling up.

This isn’t a traditional “job”, it’s a chance to build your own exciting and varied portfolio career. You’ll support inspiring business owners to achieve their version of success, while shaping a lifestyle that gives you the flexibility and balance you deserve.

Whether you’re returning to work after a break, already consulting, or simply ready to reignite your energy and purpose, you’ll be supported by a global network of CFOs and a local community that genuinely feels like family.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll be:

A qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
Experienced at CFO/FD level for a minimum of 5 years within ambitious, growing SMEs/ also large businesses
Experience of leading on Mergers and Acquisitions, Exits or Fundraising
Commercially astute with strong strategic insight and leadership skills
A natural relationship builder — someone clients describe as “trusted”, “genuine”, and “in it with me for the long run”
Have a desire to be a valued member of a regional team of best in class experts
Be a team player and a desire to collaborate with your Regional Director and Team Mates to drive results, learn, share, grow and help one another and clients
High levels of emotional intelligence and a skill and desire to build long-term and meaningful connections
Be flexible and adaptable to drive the best results for your clients and help them overcome challenges and shape and reach their goals and potential

You’ll combine financial expertise with empathy and curiosity, asking the right questions, building real relationships, and helping business owners achieve meaningful results, not just better numbers and make a real difference.

How It Works

This is a self-employed opportunity that gives you the best of both worlds:

Freedom to work flexibly and shape your own blend of portfolio with clients you enjoy to work with and are well suited to, typically based on a minimum of 2/3 days a week
Support from an established organisation with proven systems and a strong brand as UK and Global Leader of Fractional FD’s/ CFO’s
Community from a team that shares knowledge, celebrates wins, and truly looks out for one another

You’ll thrive on the variety, challenge, and satisfaction of working with multiple clients, typically across multiple sectors which are suited to your specialisms and preferences — knowing your work genuinely transforms their business and their lives.
