The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is a full-time executive role at the heart of Progress Group's operations. In addition to owning the firm's internal financial function, the CFO will serve as the embedded financial lead across a portfolio of client engagements — spanning technology companies and established enterprises. This individual must be a seasoned financial operator who thrives in dynamic environments, manages multiple mandates simultaneously, and is equally comfortable building financial infrastructure as driving strategic direction.
This is a high-impact, dual-mandate role. Internally, you will own Progress Group's financial health. Externally, you will represent Progress Group as a trusted CFO-level partner to our clients — a critical driver of our rapidly growing fractional CFO service line.
