A highly acquisitive, PE-backed technical services business is seeking an experienced Interim CFO to support the next phase of growth.

Operating in a blue-collar, multi-site environment, the business has completed a number of acquisitions and is continuing to pursue an active buy-and-build strategy. The successful candidate will partner closely with the CEO, board and investors to drive integration, strengthen financial performance and support future M&A activity.

Key responsibilities:

  • Leading finance across a growing buy-and-build platform
  • Driving post-acquisition integration and value creation
  • Strengthening reporting, forecasting, controls and cash management
  • Supporting lenders, investors and board stakeholders
  • Building scalable processes, systems and finance infrastructure
  • Supporting future acquisitions from diligence through integration
  • Improving commercial visibility and operational performance

Candidate requirements:

  • Previous experience within PE-backed businesses
  • Strong technical services, engineering, FM, industrial services, infrastructure or support services background
  • Proven experience operating within highly acquisitive, buy-and-build environments
  • Multiple examples of acquisition integration delivered within the last five years
  • Track record of leading post-deal integration, synergy capture and business consolidation initiatives
  • Strong lender, investor and board management experience
  • Hands-on, pragmatic leadership style with the ability to operate in fast-paced environments

This role is best suited to an Interim CFO who has repeatedly navigated acquisition-led growth and can demonstrate recent success integrating acquired businesses while professionalising finance and supporting value creation.
