Job Description

Camino Search is glad to be partnering fast-growing, private equity-backed services organization entering a transformative phase of growth. With strong financial backing and a clear strategic mandate, the business is executing an ambitious buy-and-build strategy to consolidate a fragmented sector and create a market-leading platform.


The Opportunity:

As CFO, you will be a key strategic partner to the CEO and Board, leading all financial, and operational aspects of the business. You will play a critical role in driving value creation across both organic growth and M&A, ensuring the finance function scales in lockstep with the group's expansion.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Act as a strategic partner to the CEO and investors, contributing to overall business strategy and value creation.
  • Lead financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and performance management.
  • Build a scalable finance function, including reporting, controls, systems, and team development.
  • Oversee execution and integration of acquisitions, including due diligence, valuation, and post-merger integration.
  • Own relationships with investors, banks, auditors, and external advisors.
  • Implement best-in-class KPIs, dashboards, and operational finance tools to support decision-making.
  • Support potential future exit strategy and equity events (refinancing, recap, or sale).


Profile:

  • Proven CFO (or experienced Finance Director stepping up) with Private Equity experience.
  • Strong track record in services businesses, ideally with exposure service-based models.
  • Demonstrated success in buy-and-build or M&A-intensive environments.
  • Hands-on, low-ego leader with a commercial mindset and strong operational instincts.
  • Experience professionalizing a finance function in a scaling environment.
  • Excellent communication skills and stakeholder management experience, including Board and investor relations.
