Our client is a high growth Private Equity backed consumer services business which is expanding rapidly through an acquisition-led strategy. With current turnover c£15m and outstanding profit margins, the business has credible plans to deliver a 70% increase in EBITDA by the end of 2015, and to further double EBITDA again between 2016 and 2018.
With growth gathering pace a commercially focused Finance Director is required to partner with the CEO in driving the business forward to deliver on its strategic plans and an eventual exit.
With a high volume of acquisition activity you will be experienced in the full acquisition process, negotiating commercial transactions and ensuring efficient integration and delivery of planned synergies. Leading a small but capable finance team, you will ensure that the systems, process and control environment are commensurate with the ongoing upscaling of the group, and that appropriately skilled individuals are in place to manage the control, compliance and reporting. A key part of the role involves driving value in the business through providing operational leaders with greater commercial insight into the key drivers of business performance in their respective business areas. You will additionally be experienced in managing a variety of stakeholder relationships including PE investors, banks, a variety of advisors and auditors.
A potentially suitable candidate will be an experienced Finance Director, commercially astute, able to quickly identify and model key drivers of value in the business; to have excellent relationship building skills to credibly partner with and challenge a successful, entrepreneurial CEO; experienced in the acquisition process, detail oriented. While sector experience is not a pre-requisite, a experience in a regulated consumer oriented, data-rich business would be useful. Experience of taking a PE backed business through exit would be particularly advantageous.
