High-Stakes Hires.
Delivery Under
Pressure.

The most critical hire in the first 100 days after an acquisition.

Our interim CFOs have delivered in PE environments — they understand value creation plans, investor reporting, and the pace that private equity demands.

They are not a stopgap. They are a strategic solution: stabilising the finance function, building capability, and bridging to the permanent hire.

Before we search, we clarify what you actually need:

• Structure or stabilisation? Are you building finance capability from scratch, or firefighting a cash/control crisis?
• Internal grip or external credibility? Do you need someone to fix what's broken inside, or win trust with investors, lenders and acquirers?
• Builder, Transformer, or Exit CFO? Different stages of the PE lifecycle need different archetypes. We help you define which.

We place permanent CFOs and FDs who have already navigated PE complexity — portfolio companies, transformation environments, high-stakes governance — and can deliver strategic finance alongside operational grip.

The worst CFO brief we hear: "We need someone to take stress off me."

Stress doesn't disappear. It just moves. The question isn't whether they can handle pressure — it's whether they are solving the right problem. Hire the wrong archetype and you'll feel relief for a month. Then it gets expensive.

Senior finance operators who can run the function day-to-day while building capability for scale.

Strong on systems, controls and team leadership, and pragmatic about what "good enough" looks like at different growth stages.

Experienced consultants across the full suite of SAP functional modules — FI/CO, MM, SD, PP, and beyond.

We source contractors who have genuine S/4HANA experience, not just legacy ECC knowledge, and who understand the differences that matter in a conversion project.

These are the hardest SAP roles to fill — the modules where demand far outstrips supply and where a vacancy can delay an entire programme.

We invest disproportionate sourcing effort here because this is where clients need us most.

The senior technical roles that set the architectural direction for the entire programme.

Solution Architects, Integration Architects, Data Migration Leads, and Basis specialists who have delivered S/4HANA transformations end-to-end.

Data Engineers who build and maintain the pipelines, warehouses, and lakehouses that make everything else possible.

We source contractors with hands-on experience across Databricks, Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, Kafka, and the major cloud platforms — and we can technically assess the difference between someone who lists these tools and someone who has built production systems with them.

ML Engineers and AI Engineers who deploy models into production, build inference pipelines, and create the systems that turn research into business value.

We focus on engineers with production experience — not just notebook prototypers — who understand MLOps, model serving, monitoring, and the full lifecycle.

MLOps Engineers and platform specialists who bridge data engineering and machine learning — building the CI/CD pipelines, model registries, feature stores, and monitoring systems that turn experimental ML into production-grade AI.

One of the scarcest skill sets in UK tech.
