What Our Clients Say
CFO Appointment – Private Equity Portfolio Company
A Northern-based private equity firm required the appointment of a commercially astute Chief Financial Officer to support a buy-and-build strategy within one of its portfolio businesses. The company had recently completed two acquisitions and required strengthened financial leadership ahead of further expansion and a planned exit within three to five years.
​
The mandate demanded a finance leader with prior private equity exposure, strong integration experience and the credibility to operate confidently at board and investor level. Cultural alignment was equally critical, as the business retained an entrepreneurial, founder-led environment.
​
FG Executive Search conducted a targeted market mapping exercise across private equity-backed finance leaders within the region and nationally. Through discreet engagement and rigorous assessment, we identified a shortlist of candidates with proven M&A integration capability, investor reporting experience and strategic growth oversight.
​
The appointed CFO brought extensive portfolio experience and immediately strengthened financial controls, reporting structures and acquisition integration processes. The business is now positioned with enhanced governance and financial clarity to support continued expansion and long-term value creation.
