Do you enjoy getting under the hood of a business - understanding how costs really flow, challenging the status quo and building better ways of doing things? Are you looking for a role where you can take ownership of complex, international cost structures and genuinely shape how a group operates? We're working with a large, private equity-backed business operating across multiple international markets. They are currently going through a period of continued growth and investment and, as part of that journey, they're looking to appoint a Group Finance Research & IT Controller into a newly created role within their central finance function. This is not a typical Financial Controller position . It sits at the intersection of group finance, technology investment and international operations, with a focus on understanding, refining and improving how costs are captured, allocated and reported across the business. You'll take ownership of areas such as IT investment and project accounting, global cost recharges and elements of transfer pricing, working closely with finance, tax and operational teams to bring greater clarity and consistency to how the group operates. There is already significant activity in these areas, but plenty of opportunity to improve processes, introduce structure and make a visible impact. The role would suit a technically strong accountant, most likely ACA or ACCA qualified, who has experience within a group or multi-entity environment and enjoys working in the detail as well as stepping back to see the bigger picture. Exposure to intercompany, cost allocation or project accounting will be particularly relevant, although you don't need to have covered every aspect of the brief before. What is important is an interest in understanding how things work, a willingness to challenge and improve, and the ability to work across teams in a collaborative way. The business is South West-based, with a flexible working model that typically requires just one day per week in the office, alongside a strong overall benefits package that reflects the importance of the role. If you're curious and would like to understand a little more, I'd be very happy to talk it through in more detail - even if it's just an initial, informal conversation. . We do our best to reply to EVERY application! We have been candidates too and we work hard to treat you in the same way that we would want to be treated. Therefore, we try not to rely on a generic advert disclaimer as this is something that is important for us and the businesses we partner with. Given the high volume of responses we receive from the combination of job boards, social media and other sources and despite our best efforts, many of our responses will be via email as we simply can't call every application - We know that may not quite what you want to hear but we hope you'll understand and that you like our approach. We work with great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes us, and our clients stronger, more creative and ultimately better at what we all do. Short-listed candidates will obviously be contacted for this specific role and, regardless of the outcome of this process, feel free to ustilise the 'job seeker resources' on our website.

From Finance Manager to CFO: The Skills that Redefine the Modern Finance Career Path 8 min read October 4, 2025 Introduction Reaching the Chief Financial Officer level remains one of the most visible milestones in a finance career. Yet the path from Finance Manager to CFO is rarely linear. What was once an upward move through accounting and reporting roles has evolved into a broader journey-one that requires fluency in strategy, valuation, governance, and commercial leadership. In today's finance functions, technical skill is essential but no longer sufficient. The modern CFO operates at the intersection of finance, strategy, and business transformation. Over the past decade, the expectations of finance leaders have shifted dramatically. Digitalisation, private capital growth, and cross-border competition have expanded the CFO's remit from stewarding financial statements to shaping corporate direction. Whether in listed companies, venture backed scale ups, or private equity portfolio firms, employers increasingly seek leaders who can connect operational performance with shareholder value. This structural change is redefining both career trajectories and the learning pathways professionals choose along the way. The Career Path: From Finance Manager to CFO Most professionals begin their senior finance journey in controllership, management reporting, or FP&A. The Finance Manager role typically consolidates technical oversight-accounting & financial reporting, forecasting, and compliance-while introducing the first layers of strategic exposure. Progression to Finance Director or Head of FP&A demands a shift toward business partnering. This implies aligning financial data with operational decisions, managing cross functional teams, and guiding capital allocation. These middle senior positions often mark the transition from pure analysis to influence in decision making. At the upper end of the ladder, the Group Controller or CFO role brings together three dimensions of leadership: strategic foresight, governance responsibility, and stakeholder communication. The CFO becomes both an internal advisor to the CEO and a public face to investors, boards, and lenders. Working at a PE or VC Backed Company or Startup In many private equity or venture capital backed companies, the VP Finance role often represents the highest level of financial and operational leadership before a formal finance department is fully established. At this stage, a deep understanding of how private equity operates and how governance frameworks function becomes essential. The VP Finance acts as the bridge between investors and founders-ensuring transparency, financial discipline, and accountability while supporting growth objectives and capital efficiency. In the most competitive markets-London, Paris, Milan, and Madrid-median compensation reflects this blend of accountability and strategic scope. Salaries typically rise from the mid 50k range at Finance Manager level to above £120k or €120k at the CFO level, with bonuses frequently adding 15-25 percent. The salary gap signals more than seniority; it represents the premium on business judgement and boardroom literacy. Each step on the salary ladder is associated with a distinct skill profile. Skills that Drive the Transition Advancing from Finance Manager to CFO requires mastery of both the science and the art of finance leadership. Analysis of senior level job descriptions across the UK and continental Europe reveals five recurring domains of expertise that consistently appear in high earning roles: Corporate Finance: Understanding capital structure, cost of capital, and investment appraisal is now fundamental. CFOs are expected to evaluate projects through NPV, IRR, and scenario analysis, integrating these insights into strategy rather than treating them as compliance exercises. Business Valuation: The ability to value companies, divisions, and strategic options underpins decision making in M&A and fundraising. Whether through discounted cash flow, comparables, or transaction multiples, valuation fluency signals boardroom readiness. Corporate Governance: Boards demand finance leaders who understand oversight frameworks, director duties, and audit committee dynamics. Governance knowledge is increasingly vital as CFOs become custodians of transparency and ethical decision making. Private Equity and Venture Capital Exposure: Many modern CFOs operate within PE backed or VC backed structures. Familiarity with investor reporting, capital calls, and exit strategies differentiates candidates capable of engaging private capital stakeholders. Mergers and Acquisitions: Strategic growth through acquisitions is common across Europe's mid market. Experience managing due diligence, synergy assessment, and post deal integration enhances a finance leader's credibility. Developing these skills systematically is what transforms financial managers into strategic partners. As many executives acknowledge, finance today is no longer just about slicing and dicing excels to present a P&L - which nowadays, thanks to advanced tools and business intelligence these are almost automated - it is more about direction and understanding of market dynamics. Valuefinex, provider of fractional CFO services in the UK and Europe said, "our fractional CFOs support private equity backed and Series A+ companies, where the role typically requires senior finance leaders to prioritise in the short term, the streamlining of the processes, enhancing information flow, and reducing back office manual and repetitive workload. The goal is to redirect those hours toward greater involvement in the commercial and strategic aspects of finance in the mid and long term." This convergence creates both opportunity and pressure. The route to CFO can accelerate for those who deliberately acquire cross functional exposure-leading system implementations, managing investor relations, or contributing to board committees. Conversely, remaining confined to traditional and routine financial control may limit career mobility. Strategic literacy-understanding how to interpret valuation drivers, evaluate capital structure decisions, and communicate governance implications-is increasingly recognised as a key differentiator for leadership succession. Finance professionals who can connect analytical insight with strategic context stand out as future CFOs. The Two Clear Paths to the CFO Role Many finance professionals aspire to reach the CFO level but often find themselves constrained by traditional, reporting driven roles. The challenge is not competence, it is exposure. Without deliberate development of strategic, commercial, and governance related skills, progression can plateau. In active markets such as London, where private equity and venture backed companies represent an important share of hiring, two main routes have emerged for professionals aiming to accelerate their trajectory. The first is to acquire the five core strategic competencies-corporate finance, business valuation, corporate governance, private equity or venture capital exposure, and M&A-through focused executive programmes designed to build decision level capability. The second is to pursue a more entrepreneurial route by taking on fractional CFO or interim finance leadership roles, a fast growing segment driven by high growth and PE backed companies seeking experienced guidance on finance and governance matters. Fractional CFO roles, in particular, are reshaping how senior finance expertise is deployed. These positions place leaders at the centre of dynamic, scaling businesses where every process improvement and strategic decision can multiply enterprise value. Companies in this space are not merely looking for financial reporting or complex Excel workbooks -they seek experienced finance leaders who can bring structure, discipline, and foresight to fast growing teams. The role often involves setting standards that allow the organisation to scale efficiently while maintaining control over risk, governance, and cash flow visibility. Equally important is the ability to act as a genuine business partner to the founding team and executive leadership-working cross functionally to align operations, finance, and strategy toward the next valuation milestone or growth target. Startup funding rarely happens all at once, instead it progresses through distinct stages as the business matures. Each funding round introduces new investors, ideally higher valuations, and increasingly formal expectations around governance and reporting. At each stage, the CFO plays a pivotal role in bridging investor confidence with operational reality, ensuring the company remains both growth oriented and well controlled. At CLFI, we deliver the first online executive programme in Corporate Finance, Valuation & Governance, with exclusive modules on Private Equity and Mergers & Acquisitions-topics traditionally reserved for top tier business schools and often accessible only through employer sponsorship. Today, as brand prestige becomes less decisive than demonstrable competence, accessible and high quality executive education provides a direct bridge to boardroom readiness.

CFOs are expected to evaluate projects through NPV, IRR, and scenario analysis, integrating these insights into strategy rather than treating them as compliance exercises. Business Valuation: The ability to value companies, divisions, and strategic options underpins decision making in M&A and fundraising. Whether through discounted cash flow, comparables, or transaction multiples, valuation fluency signals boardroom readiness. Corporate Governance: Boards demand finance leaders who understand oversight frameworks, director duties, and audit committee dynamics. Governance knowledge is increasingly vital as CFOs become custodians of transparency and ethical decision making. Private Equity and Venture Capital Exposure: Many modern CFOs operate within PE backed or VC backed structures. Familiarity with investor reporting, capital calls, and exit strategies differentiates candidates capable of engaging private capital stakeholders. Mergers and Acquisitions: Strategic growth through acquisitions is common across Europe's mid market. Experience managing due diligence, synergy assessment, and post deal integration enhances a finance leader's credibility. Developing these skills systematically is what transforms financial managers into strategic partners. As many executives acknowledge, finance today is no longer just about slicing and dicing excels to present a P&L - which nowadays, thanks to advanced tools and business intelligence these are almost automated - it is more about direction and understanding of market dynamics. Valuefinex, provider of fractional CFO services in the UK and Europe said, "our fractional CFOs support private equity backed and Series A+ companies, where the role typically requires senior finance leaders to prioritise in the short term, the streamlining of the processes, enhancing information flow, and reducing back office manual and repetitive workload. The goal is to redirect those hours toward greater involvement in the commercial and strategic aspects of finance in the mid and long term." This convergence creates both opportunity and pressure. The route to CFO can accelerate for those who deliberately acquire cross functional exposure-leading system implementations, managing investor relations, or contributing to board committees. Conversely, remaining confined to traditional and routine financial control may limit career mobility. Strategic literacy-understanding how to interpret valuation drivers, evaluate capital structure decisions, and communicate governance implications-is increasingly recognised as a key differentiator for leadership succession. Finance professionals who can connect analytical insight with strategic context stand out as future CFOs. The Two Clear Paths to the CFO Role Many finance professionals aspire to reach the CFO level but often find themselves constrained by traditional, reporting driven roles. The challenge is not competence, it is exposure. Without deliberate development of strategic, commercial, and governance related skills, progression can plateau. In active markets such as London, where private equity and venture backed companies represent an important share of hiring, two main routes have emerged for professionals aiming to accelerate their trajectory. The first is to acquire the five core strategic competencies-corporate finance, business valuation, corporate governance, private equity or venture capital exposure, and M&A-through focused executive programmes designed to build decision level capability. The second is to pursue a more entrepreneurial route by taking on fractional CFO or interim finance leadership roles, a fast growing segment driven by high growth and PE backed companies seeking experienced guidance on finance and governance matters. Fractional CFO roles, in particular, are reshaping how senior finance expertise is deployed. These positions place leaders at the centre of dynamic, scaling businesses where every process improvement and strategic decision can multiply enterprise value. Companies in this space are not merely looking for financial reporting or complex Excel workbooks -they seek experienced finance leaders who can bring structure, discipline, and foresight to fast growing teams. The role often involves setting standards that allow the organisation to scale efficiently while maintaining control over risk, governance, and cash flow visibility. Equally important is the ability to act as a genuine business partner to the founding team and executive leadership-working cross functionally to align operations, finance, and strategy toward the next valuation milestone or growth target. Startup funding rarely happens all at once, instead it progresses through distinct stages as the business matures. Each funding round introduces new investors, ideally higher valuations, and increasingly formal expectations around governance and reporting. At each stage, the CFO plays a pivotal role in bridging investor confidence with operational reality, ensuring the company remains both growth oriented and well controlled. At CLFI, we deliver the first online executive programme in Corporate Finance, Valuation & Governance, with exclusive modules on Private Equity and Mergers & Acquisitions-topics traditionally reserved for top tier business schools and often accessible only through employer sponsorship. Today, as brand prestige becomes less decisive than demonstrable competence, accessible and high quality executive education provides a direct bridge to boardroom readiness.

From Finance Manager to CFO: The Skills that Redefine the Modern Finance Career Path 8 min read October 4, 2025 Introduction Reaching the Chief Financial Officer level remains one of the most visible milestones in a finance career. Yet the path from Finance Manager to CFO is rarely linear. What was once an upward move through accounting and reporting roles has evolved into a broader journey-one that requires fluency in strategy, valuation, governance, and commercial leadership. In today's finance functions, technical skill is essential but no longer sufficient. The modern CFO operates at the intersection of finance, strategy, and business transformation. Over the past decade, the expectations of finance leaders have shifted dramatically. Digitalisation, private capital growth, and cross-border competition have expanded the CFO's remit from stewarding financial statements to shaping corporate direction. Whether in listed companies, venture backed scale ups, or private equity portfolio firms, employers increasingly seek leaders who can connect operational performance with shareholder value. This structural change is redefining both career trajectories and the learning pathways professionals choose along the way. The Career Path: From Finance Manager to CFO Most professionals begin their senior finance journey in controllership, management reporting, or FP&A. The Finance Manager role typically consolidates technical oversight-accounting & financial reporting, forecasting, and compliance-while introducing the first layers of strategic exposure. Progression to Finance Director or Head of FP&A demands a shift toward business partnering. This implies aligning financial data with operational decisions, managing cross functional teams, and guiding capital allocation. These middle senior positions often mark the transition from pure analysis to influence in decision making. At the upper end of the ladder, the Group Controller or CFO role brings together three dimensions of leadership: strategic foresight, governance responsibility, and stakeholder communication. The CFO becomes both an internal advisor to the CEO and a public face to investors, boards, and lenders. Working at a PE or VC Backed Company or Startup In many private equity or venture capital backed companies, the VP Finance role often represents the highest level of financial and operational leadership before a formal finance department is fully established. At this stage, a deep understanding of how private equity operates and how governance frameworks function becomes essential. The VP Finance acts as the bridge between investors and founders-ensuring transparency, financial discipline, and accountability while supporting growth objectives and capital efficiency. In the most competitive markets-London, Paris, Milan, and Madrid-median compensation reflects this blend of accountability and strategic scope. Salaries typically rise from the mid 50k range at Finance Manager level to above £120k or €120k at the CFO level, with bonuses frequently adding 15-25 percent. The salary gap signals more than seniority; it represents the premium on business judgement and boardroom literacy. Each step on the salary ladder is associated with a distinct skill profile.

We're looking for a commercially minded Finance Business Partner with experience in a manufacturing environment who wants to do more than produce reports. This is a role for someone who enjoys being close to the operational side of a business - working with leaders on the shop floor as well as in the boardroom, influencing decisions and turning financial data into insights that drive real performance. Based in Newcastle and reporting to the Financial Controller, you'll act as the bridge between finance and operations. You'll help managers understand what the numbers are really telling them, challenge assumptions, and ensure financial thinking supports day-to-day operational and strategic decisions. The Opportunity You'll work closely with operational teams and senior leaders to understand performance across the business. Your week might include reviewing KPIs with department heads, analysing production or cost variances, preparing management accounts, supporting forecasts and budgets, and helping evaluate investment decisions. A key part of the role is translating financial information into clear, practical insight that non-finance teams can act on. You'll help identify efficiencies, highlight risks and opportunities, and support strategic initiatives that improve profitability and operational performance. Because of the nature of the business, experience working in a manufacturing environment is essential. Understanding operational cost drivers, production performance, and working closely with operational teams will be critical to success in this role. About You You'll likely be a qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA or CIMA) or qualified by experience, with several years' experience in roles such as management accounting or finance business partnering. Most importantly, you'll have previous experience working in a manufacturing company, giving you a solid understanding of operational finance, cost drivers and performance metrics within a production environment. You're confident working with financial data and systems, but what really sets you apart is your ability to communicate clearly, build relationships and influence decisions outside the finance team. You enjoy working collaboratively, asking the right questions, and helping operational teams understand the financial impact of their decisions. Why This Role? This is an opportunity to step into a visible and commercially focused finance role where your insights will directly influence operational performance and strategic decisions. You'll work closely with leadership, gain exposure to key business initiatives, and play a central role in driving efficiency, profitability and continuous improvement.
