Cedar have been retained by a mid-market Private Equity firm in search of a Finance Director for an exciting and profitable SME in the Health Technology space.

Having recently completed on a large acquisition, the business is seeking a Divisional Finance Director to own 2 of the larger businesses in this group of 4 and help support this continued growth – taking the business on an exciting journey with bolt-on acquisitions and eventually a transaction.

This is a strategic Finance Director role as a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, partnering a commercial, customer facing CEO, performing due diligence on potential M&A and support business cases to increase revenue streams. You will also partner several key c-suite/MD level commercial stakeholders, and manage a small team which you will develop and scale.

The business has clients UK-wide with several offices (no need for travel), but you will need to be comfortable working in a multi-entity organisation with several brands and revenue streams.

• Accountancy qualification is essential with several years PQE
• Previous experience owning the Finance department, with experience working in a multi-entity/multi-site business
• A strong analytical background, data-driven with experience in evaluating products / due diligence, able to support new investment decisions
• Experience working in a Private Capital backed business (PE or similar) is ideal, or someone able to show strong working capital and cash flow experience
• Strong accounting background, meticulous on compliance and regulatory requirements.
