hozah - Chief Financial Officer

• You've led finance before, or you're ready for your first shot and can prove it. A strong FD/Head of Finance ready to step up, or an early second-time CFO who wants to build rather than inherit. Either way, you can walk us through a function you built, not just one you worked inside. • You're commercial, not just technical. You read the business, not just the ledger, and have a view on where value is created and where it leaks. • You can build FP&A from scratch. Modelling, forecasting, scenario planning: the forward view is your craft, not something you outsource. • You're hands-on. You'll build it yourself before you delegate it, and you're not above the detail. • You're front-footed on tech and AI in finance. You already use modern tooling to make a lean function punch above its weight. • You make numbers land with people who don't live in them. A founder, an ops lead and an investor in the same room, each hearing what the numbers mean for them. • You're comfortable stepping outside the finance lane and getting involved directly with clients and suppliers. • CFO, FD or Head of Finance experience in a VC/PE-backed scale-up, ideally through a fundraise or refinancing • Experience in a marketplace, proptech, paytech, or subscription/usage-based B2B business • Direct experience leading or closely supporting a fundraise, refinancing or M&A process • Presenting to a board and/or investor syndicate, not just internal stakeholders • Building or scaling a finance team from a small base
