Ref: CR1140
Finatal is retained on a search for a Private Equity‐backed Tech/Software business undergoing a significant transformation journey. The business currently generates approximately c. €150m across five established businesses.
Backed by a leading global PE investor, the platform is being brought together into a standalone business with ambitious plans to scale revenues to approximately c. €300m over the next five years through a combination of organic growth and a targeted buy‐and‐build strategy. The business has a diversified revenue model. This is a rare opportunity for a hands‐on finance leader to help build a standalone software platform from the ground up, establish the finance infrastructure, support M&A; activity, develop the capital structure, and ultimately help prepare the business for a future exit.
The Role
As CFO, you will be a key strategic partner to the CEO, Executive Team, and Private Equity sponsor, responsible for building and leading the standalone finance function through a period of transformation, growth, integration and value creation.



Operating initially within a lean structure, the successful candidate will combine strategic leadership with strong execution capability, driving commercial finance, financial control, capital markets activity and organisational development across a complex multi‐entity software environment.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Finance & Business Partnering
- Act as the primary financial partner to the CEO and Board, translating strategic objectives into actionable financial plans and value creation initiatives.
- Partner closely with business‐unit leaders to improve profitability, resource allocation, pricing decisions and operational performance.
- Help drive the evolution of the business from a services‐oriented organisation towards a software‐product and recurring‐revenue operating model.
- Develop enhanced visibility of performance through improved KPIs, forecasting, reporting and decision‐support framew
