Salary: $200,000 - $250,000 + bonus + benefits + equity

About the Business

We are partnering with an investment group to appoint a Group CFO within a growing buy-and-build platform in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. The group operates across multiple sites (currently MN & WI) and generates $28m+ in revenue, with a clear strategy to scale significantly through a combination of organic growth and acquisition.

With committed capital and an active deal pipeline, the platform is focused on building a portfolio of supply chain and production-led businesses across the U.S.

About the Role

This is a critical, executive leadership role with broad responsibility across financial strategy, operational finance, cash management, reporting infrastructure, acquisition integration and long-term value creation.

Reporting directly to the Board, the Group CFO will act as the senior financial leader across the US platform, partnering closely with investors and operational leadership to help shape and execute the group’s strategic objectives.

The role requires a commercially minded, hands-on finance executive capable of balancing strategic leadership with operational execution within a multi-site manufacturing and supply chain environment.

The candidate can be based flexibly in the Midwest (MN, WI, IA, MO, IL, KS preferred), with regular travel across portfolio companies and external stakeholders required.

Key areas of focus include:

• Full P&L ownership across multi-site operations
• Driving financial discipline, cash flow visibility, and working capital performance
• Leading the integration of acquisitions and supporting ongoing M&A activity
• Strengthening operational efficiency and margin performance
• Partnering with investors on strategic execution and growth
• Recruiting and coaching the future finance team

This is a hands-on role in a growth-oriented, capital-conscious environment.

About the Candidate

• Proven experience operating in a CFO role
• Strong background within manufacturing, industrial, or supply chain-led businesses
• Demonstrable experience within multi-site operations
• Track record of working within growth-oriented or investor-backed (PE or similar) environments
• Experience supporting or executing M&A and post-acquisition integration
• Experience in cash flow management and short-term liquidity planning
• Working capital optimization background (inventory, receivables, payables)
• Operating in cash-sensitive or resource-constrained environments
• Ability to balance growth ambitions with financial discipline

Senior Financial Accountant

Salary: £50,000 - £55,000 + benefits

Location: Bristol (Hybrid)

Duration: Permanent

We’re working with a growing, multi-entity business looking to bring in a Senior Financial Accountant to strengthen their finance function. This is a business in growth mode, with multiple entities, increasing complexity, and a real need for someone who can own the numbers, tighten controls, and elevate reporting.

You’ll sit at the heart of the finance function, working closely with a high-calibre Head of Finance, taking responsibility for both management and statutory reporting, while helping shape processes as the business continues to scale. If you enjoy getting into the detail but also improving the bigger picture, you’ll feel right at home here.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll take ownership across the full financial accounting cycle, including:

• Leading the monthly management accounts process across multiple entities
• Owning balance sheet integrity – reconciliations, controls, and accuracy
• Managing intercompany transactions and ensuring timely settlements
• Preparing VAT returns and supporting tax/payment planning
• Supporting cashflow forecasting and wider financial insight
• Overseeing payroll processes

On the statutory side:

• Leading the year-end audit process, acting as key contact for auditors
• Preparing ETB (Extended Trial Balance) and supporting audit adjustments
• Delivering statutory accounts across group entities within deadlines
• Working closely with external advisors to ensure smooth, compliant reporting

Beyond the Numbers

This role isn’t just about reporting; it’s about progression and improvement:

• Driving process improvements and automation across finance
• Supporting systems enhancements and integrations (ERP / eCommerce / operational systems)
• Playing a key role in finance transformation initiatives
• Promoting strong financial governance and controls across the business
• Supporting and reviewing work within the wider finance team

What We’re Looking For 

We’re looking for someone technically strong, but also commercially aware:

• ACA / ACCA qualified
• 3-5+ years PQE in a fast-paced environment
• Strong background in financial accounting / audit / controllership
• Strong knowledge of FRS 102
• Confident working with senior stakeholders

Bonus points for:

• Experience improving systems or processes
• Exposure to ERP environments / finance transformation

The Person 

You’ll likely be:

• Detail-oriented but able to see the bigger picture
• Commercially minded and solutions-focused
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, regulated environment
• Someone who enjoys ownership, accountability, and improving things
• Collaborative, but confident enough to challenge where needed

Why This Role? 

• Genuine ownership of financial reporting across a group structure
• A business that’s evolving, not standing still
• Opportunity to shape processes and systems, not just follow them
• Strong leadership and a supportive finance environment
• Clear scope to add value beyond your job description

If this sounds like the kind of role where you can make an impact (not just tick boxes), let’s have a conversation.
