  • Support the annual audit process and coordinate with external auditors, lenders, and sponsor finance teams
  • Drive process improvements and build scalable financial infrastructure to support rapid growth and exit readiness

  • Advanced financial modeling skills, including LBO, M&A, and scenario modeling
  • Experience with add-on acquisitions, integration planning, and post-merger synergy tracking
  • Proven ability to operate with high ownership in a lean, fast-moving finance organization

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
