Act as the CFO's closest thinking partner — bringing structure to open questions, pressure-testing assumptions, and sharpening the logic behind major decisions

Frame options, risks, and trade-offs so leaders can move quickly with conviction
Raise the bar on how the business plans, forecasts, and prioritizes — replacing instinct with evidence
Own the full planning cadence: annual plan, rolling forecast, and long-range model
Tie assumptions, targets, and resourcing decisions directly to enterprise strategy
Drive forecast accuracy and hold the line on financial discipline across every function
Rebuild planning rhythms to match how the business actually builds, invests, and delivers
Design frameworks flexible enough to fund experiments and rigorous enough to prove they paid off
Build the KPI, dashboard, and reporting layer that puts financial and operational performance in one place
Run monthly and quarterly business reviews that end in decisions, not status updates
Give functional and operating-unit leaders real decision support — scenario work, commercial insight, and a clear read on what's driving results
Connect performance across the wider operating network into a single view of where value is created
Run the investment governance framework end to end: ROI, payback, prioritization, and post-investment review
Partner with the CFO on enterprise value modelling — the drivers, the sensitivities, the risks
Hold every investment decision to a clear strategic rationale and a defensible financial case
Modernize the finance stack — automation, cleaner data flows, and insight that arrives in real time instead of after month-end

Build a culture of clarity, curiosity, and accountability — and model the cross-functional, systems-level thinking the business is moving toward
You do your best work where finance sits at the centre of the business, not off to the side of it. You like being in the room when decisions get made — translating complexity into something leaders can act on, and giving them the clarity to move faster than they otherwise would.
A track record as a genuine partner to a CFO and executive team, not just a producer of decks for them
Depth across budgeting, forecasting, modelling, and long-range planning — you can build it, audit it, and simplify it
Commercial instincts strong enough to change an executive's mind, backed by numbers strong enough to hold up when they push back
Experience through a period of real change — a finance modernization, a growth phase that outpaced the systems supporting it
The ability to communicate with range: technical with your team, plain-spoken with the executive, credible with both
Hands-on experience upgrading planning systems, reporting, automation, and analytics
Sound judgment and a high tolerance for ambiguity — you can hold competing priorities without losing the thread
Bonus: CPA, CFA, or MBA
Full health and dental coverage for you and your family
