Job Description
We're rebuilding the finance function of a multi-location food-service business from the ground up, and we need a finance executive who wants to lead that transformation personally — not just report on it.
You'll take over the finance function, protect the essentials (cash, payroll, compliance), and turn finance into a real-time engine for decisions across the business. Once things are stable and running well, you'll have the option to stay embedded, build a successor, or expand into wider work across our portfolio.
What You'll Own
- Lead the complete finance function through a hands-on transition
- Build accurate, controlled financial reporting and protect cash and payroll
- Own budgets, rolling forecasts, and cash planning
- Make profitability visible by location, brand, channel, and product
- Evaluate pricing, promotions, and investment decisions with real business cases
- Redesign the finance team's structure, systems, and controls — and eventually build your own successor
Requirements
What We're Looking For
- Significant senior finance leadership experience, ideally at CFO level
- A track record improving profitability, forecasting, and cash management
- Strong commercial instincts — pricing, unit economics, investment analysis
- Advanced, hands-on use of AI and modern finance tools
- Professional finance/accounting qualification strongly preferred
Bonus Points
- Experience inside a complex, multi-location hospitality, retail, or restaurant business
- Client-facing advisory or consulting experience
- History of challenging executives with hard evidence, not just opinions
You'll Thrive Here If You...
- See finance as a decision-making tool, not just a compliance function
- Want to build something from a messy starting point rather than maintain a clean system
- Like the idea of eventually training your own replacement and moving on to bigger things
