Location: Essex (Hybrid)
Contract: 6 Months Minimum
Salary: Competitive Day Rate
Ref: GF011

Industry: Professional Services

About the Role:
Finatal is working alongside a private equity-backed professional services business (sub £20 million t/o), that is seeking a highly experienced Interim CFO to lead a full carve-out process from end to end. This is a critical appointment for the organisation’s next phase of growth and transformation.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead and manage the full carve-out process, ensuring seamless separation from the parent entity
Build and implement standalone financial and operational systems, processes, and controls
Support in establishing a fit-for-purpose finance function for the standalone entity
Provide clear, data-driven insights to inform decision-making during and post-carve out

Requirements:

Proven track record as a CFO or senior finance leader in a private equity-backed environment
End-to-end experience leading at least one full carve-out, preferably within the professional services sector
Preferably a Chartered Accountant (ACA/ ACCA or equivalent qualifications)
