Build Income, Influence, Deal Flow & a Route into Private Equity | Flexible | No Fees to Founders

Are you a CFO, FD, FC or senior finance leader or CXO looking to build a stronger portfolio career close to home, or full time?

Do you want access to better local Founders, more local opportunities, experienced peers, live M&A activity, acquisition opportunities and founder relationships that can create long-term wealth rather than simply another day-rate assignment far from home?

If so, we should talk.

We are building a growing community of ambitious CFOs and CXOs who believe there is a better way than operating as a lone wolf. 187 carefully vetted peers in 12 weeks to September 2026.

Today our network includes experienced finance leaders supporting founder-led businesses across the UK, with access to:

• 10,000+ profitable founder-led businesses, opening up around your postcode.

• Businesses typically generating £0.4m–£20m EBITDA

• 40+ active top private equity relationships for "off market" exit deals

• Acquisitions, Funding, debt, FX, insurance and growth specialists

• Experienced CFO peers sharing opportunities, knowledge and support

Our community currently consists of 186+ CFO/CXO members and continues to grow.

Why Join?

Many experienced CFOs discover that building a portfolio career can be rewarding but also frustrating.

Common challenges include:

• Traveling excessive distances

• Limited deal exposure

• Lack of mentoring and peer challenge

• Difficulty accessing acquisition and exit opportunities

• Having no clear route to wealth creation beyond day rates

Our objective is simple:

Help exceptional CFOs create more income, more influence and more long-term value.

What Makes This Different?

This is not a traditional recruitment business, its peers helping peers.

This is not another networking group, no fees for learning.

This is not a franchise but it could be.

Instead, we are creating a collaborative CFO community built around opportunities, relationships, data, deal flow and shared success.

Members gain access to:

For ambitious finance leaders, this experience can become a genuine route into future NED, Chair, PE portfolio or operating partner opportunities.

The next decade will create one of the largest waves of founder exits, acquisitions and ownership transitions the UK has ever seen.

The question is: Will you be watching it happen, or helping to lead it?

We believe the next 5-10 years will see the greatest transfer of privately owned UK businesses in a generation. Thousands of founders will need trusted advisers to help them grow, acquire, fund, professionalise and ultimately exit. Our members gain access to live market intelligence, benchmarking, specialist partners, founder communities and practical deal experience that most CFOs never see. Whether your ambition is to build a stronger portfolio career, secure more local clients, increase earnings, become a NED or Chair, or eventually work with Private Equity-backed businesses, this community can help accelerate that journey. Join early and help shape something genuinely different.
