About The CFO HQ
The CFO HQ is a specialist finance leadership, transformation, deals, talent and managed-services firm. We support organisations with access to experienced CFOs, finance directors, transformation professionals and specialist advisory capabilities.
Our ambition is to build a distinctive, internationally connected finance advisory platform—combining senior expertise, regional relationships and practical execution to help clients address their most important financial and strategic priorities.
As we expand our presence across the UK, we are appointing a select group of Strategic Regional Originators to help identify opportunities, build senior relationships and extend The CFO HQ 's reach within key regional business communities.
The opportunity
This is an entrepreneurial, relationship-led opportunity for an established professional with strong regional networks and the credibility to engage business owners, CEOs, CFOs, investors, professional advisers and other senior decision-makers.
Strategic Regional Originators act as trusted commercial ambassadors for The CFO HQ . You will identify organisations that could benefit from our services, initiate high-quality conversations and connect prospective clients with the appropriate specialists within our team.
This is not a conventional salaried sales position. It is a flexible, independent commercial partnership suited to senior professionals who want to use their experience and networks to create valuable introductions while remaining engaged in other executive, advisory or portfolio activities.
Key responsibilities
Develop and maintain senior relationships across your regional business community.
Originate qualified opportunities for The CFO HQ 's advisory, fractional CFO, finance transformation, deals, managed services and talent solutions.
Introduce prospective clients and strategic partners to the appropriate members of The CFO HQ team.
Represent The CFO HQ professionally at relevant business, investment and professional-networking events.
Build relationships with accountants, lawyers, banks, investors, private equity firms, corporate-finance advisers and other referral partners.
Provide informed regional market intelligence and identify emerging commercial opportunities.
Support introductory discussions, propositions and relationship development where appropriate.
Maintain accurate and timely records of introductions, opportunities and agreed next steps.
Operate in accordance with The CFO HQ 's ethical, confidentiality, data-protection and professional standards.
