• CA, with an MBA (Finance) or equivalent qualification
• 18 - 25 years of progressive leadership experience
• Strong experience as a CFO / Finance Leader in a services / professional services organization

• Strong understanding of profitability, pricing, forecasting, working capital and business performance
• High level of integrity and commercial acumen
• Someone comfortable working in a mid-sized, founder-led organization
