About the company
This dynamic, established, and successful business operates in a multi-channel environment across the Eastern seaboard. There is a clear growth trajectory to significantly grow in size through organic growth and targeted M&A. It is entrepreneurial, fast-paced, and driven with a leadership team focused on long-term success.

About the role
This is a 4-to-5-month interim CFO contract reporting to the CEO and liaising closely with the Board as you will be a key member of and strategic partner to the ELT, driving the financial agenda, leading during change and ultimately being a safe pair of hands for the contract period. The role requires a hands-on leader - someone who can operate at both strategic and tactical levels. Key areas include:
  • Drive commercial and FP&A requirements
  • Maintain high levels of financial governance, risk and compliance
  • Guide and develop a high-performing, future-ready finance team. Where possible, embed AI, automation, and analytics to drive insights and efficiencies
  • Support M&A, investor relations, capital structuring, funding, and other strategic initiatives if they arise during the period
  • Forge strong stakeholder relationships with banks, investors, auditors, and external partners
Ideal profile
  • Tech savvy senior finance experience as a CFO or equivalent in a high-growth, fast paced business with diversified operations
  • Experienced in FMCG, retail, leading the build-out of the finance function (including financial control and FP&A) to support a business that is scaling rapidly and operating across complex commercial structures (supplier rebates, marketing programs and multi-channel distribution)
  • A peer to the CEO and ELT on commercial insights, M&A and growth opportunities, and a driver of working capital optimisation and cashflow forecasting discipline as the business pursues a multi-pronged growth agenda
  • Inspirational leadership style with experience leading finance teams. Someone who is close to operational and commercials teams across the business, can turn math into English, a chameleon who can talk to anyone from the Board, analysts, Sales team or to the shop floor
  • CA/CPA qualified, with MBA or AICD or equivalent advantageous
This highly successful business is continuing to go places, and the CEO wants a finance partner who is motivated and focused on people, product, and profit. Ultimately, during the contract, you will be expected to keep all aspects of the role tickling along and driving projects/change as required.
