Your New Company
A global leisure brand involved in consumer travel, and luxury cruises are looking to hire a new Chief Financial Officer to replace the current CFO who is due to retire. Headquartered in London, and with offices in 3 other major cities around the globe, this company has a global presence, and this role will have strategic oversight for the entire finance function.
Your New Role
The main responsibility of this CFO role is to oversee the global finance function of the business, working with Finance Director and external accountants to deliver consolidated statutory and managerial accounts. In doing this, you will ensure the total legal and financial compliance of the business.
You will be supporting the CEO and investors in short and mid-term financial planning and the longer-term growth strategy. Further, you will be responsible for the company budgets within the UK and global offices. You will also be managing company procurement activities: negotiating/re-negotiating contracts with key suppliers to obtain the best deal and performance.
You will line manage the Finance Director, coaching and developing them to reach their potential.
What You Need to Be Successful
You will be a fully qualified accountant with at least 10 years PQE, and significant time working for the leisure industry. During this time, you will have gained experience of leading a company through a merger / acquisition process, including preparing in-depth due diligence and managing TUPE and all related compliance.
Preference will be given if you have demonstrable experience managing successful internal and external audits. Alongside this, an up to date knowledge and understanding of legislation and best practices is required.
You will need to be a pro-active hands-on leader, just as happy to help with posting invoices as writing board papers. Further, an adaptable personality, experienced working in a fast-paced environment will be much needed for success in this exciting role.
