Prospera Executive has been instructed on a CFO search for a profitable, PE-backed, tech-enabled services business, fully remote.
The business is midway through its PE ownership journey. The initial value-creation plan is in motion and gaining traction, and the sponsor is now looking to accelerate the next phase of growth through a disciplined buy-and-build strategy. The CFO will report directly to the CEO and act as a true strategic partner, taking ownership of the M&A agenda while continuing to professionalize the finance function ahead of the company's next stage of institutional growth.
Key Responsibilities
- Act as strategic partner to the CEO, providing financial clarity, commercial insight and decision support across the business.
- Lead financial diligence and own the execution of bolt-on acquisitions, from evaluation through close.
- Drive post-acquisition integration, building the finance infrastructure required to support a multi-entity, buy-and-build platform.
- Continue to professionalize the finance function, strengthening reporting, forecasting, budgeting and KPI infrastructure to institutional-grade standard.
- Partner closely with the PE sponsor and Board, providing investor-grade reporting and supporting the ongoing value creation agenda.
- Build scalable finance systems and processes able to support a distributed, remote organisation through continued growth.
Ideal Candidate
- Current or former CFO with PE-backed experience, ideally having operated through more than one stage of a sponsor's ownership period.
- Strong, hands-on M&A track record: diligence, deal execution and post-acquisition integration, not just oversight.
- Commercially minded operator who can act as a genuine partner to the CEO and sponsor, not a back-office finance lead.
- Experience professionalizing and scaling finance functions within a growing business.
- Background in tech-enabled services or another recurring-revenue, services-led environment preferred.
- Comfortable operating effectively in a fully remote leadership role.
This is an opportunity to join at the point where the business shifts from a single value-creation initiative to a genuine acquisition platform, with real ownership of the M&A agenda and a direct line to the CEO and sponsor on shaping what the business becomes next.
