Position: CFO Location: Remote: PH/SA/LatAm Work Schedule: 8am-5pm EST Salary: Market Related: Base plus comp About the company We are an established single-family office with a 30-year operational history. Having successfully exited its UK-based portfolio companies, the group is now establishing a new, agile global structure anchored around a high-growth East African (Tanzania) portfolio, international trade, and asset expansion.

We need a seasoned financial leader with a verified track record in capital raising, treasury management, structuring, and M&A. You must be comfortable operating end-to-end without a pre-existing finance team or ERP setup, building financial controls, and driving international expansion from day one. Key Responsibilities Capital Raising & Deal Structuring: Lead debt/equity capital-raising initiatives, negotiate banking and investor terms, and support group funding for international projects and trade. Build Financial Architecture from Scratch: Establish financial controls, reporting standards, cash-flow models, tax planning, and compliance protocols across multiple jurisdictions without existing infrastructure. Strategic M&A & Growth: Evaluate, structure, and execute international expansion opportunities, mergers, acquisitions, and portfolio investments (specifically supporting East African / Tanzanian operations). Treasury & Fund Management: Oversee cross-border liquidity, FX management, trade finance, and movement of funds within the family office structure. Commercial Leadership: Serve as a strategic advisory partner to executive leadership, providing rigorous financial analysis to drive commercial decisions and P&L growth.
