We operate a pure found-money model: clients pay nothing unless we find something. We consistently find something — average recovery per client is £80K–£500K across AP discounts, banking fee margins, corporate T&E leakage, utility overcharges, property tax, insurance overpayments, and tax incentives. The AI does the analysis in 30–60 minutes using the client's own data. You present the findings to CFOs who trust you, get the mandate signed, and earn 20–25% of every fee collected. No ceiling.
This is the founding partner hire for the UK and, in time, the DACH market. You will shape how the practice grows. You will not have a manager.
"One ex-Big 4 partner with 200 CFO relationships closes more revenue in a quarter than a team of ten salespeople closes in a year. We are looking for that person — and paying accordingly."
— FOUNDING PARTNER RATIONALEWhat you will do
- Lead every client engagement end-to-end: first meeting, live AI demo on client data, findings presentation, mandate negotiation, delivery oversight, invoicing
- Run live demos in boardrooms using the client's own data — AP exports, bank statements, software invoices, utility bills — showing the finding in the room, not in a follow-up deck
- Manage a portfolio of 8–15 active clients simultaneously across the full Bundle A suite
- Generate your own pipeline through existing CFO and FD relationships, referrals from completed recoveries, and targeted outreach to your professional network
- Close bundle opportunities within existing client relationships — a banking fees finding leads immediately to AP discounts, insurance, and property tax in the same mandate
- Feed market intelligence back to the product team: which findings land, which objections persist, which new categories your clients are asking about
Products — Bundle A: CFO direct recovery suite
- AP early-payment discount capture — missed 2/10 net 30 discounts annualise to 36% return on cash; 60–80% of opportunities missed at average company; demo on AP export; average recovery £60K–£300K/year
- Banking fee & FX margin optimisation — hidden FX margins of 1–3%, incorrect account tier pricing, undisclosed charges; nobody audits their own bank; average £50K–£250K per engagement
- Corporate card & T&E leakage — policy violations, duplicates, and fraud patterns; average 7% of total T&E spend recoverable; demo on 3 months of expense data
- Utility & telecoms bill recovery — wrong tariffs, missed credits, incorrect VAT; average 8–15% of utility spend; retrospective claims up to 6 years possible
- Property tax appeal & assessment — 70% of businesses have never challenged their rating; 60–70% appeal success rate when evidenced; AI builds the comparable evidence automatically
- Tax incentive harvesting — R&D credits, capital allowances, employment grants; average company claims less than 20% of available entitlement
- Insurance policy gap & overpayment — broker has structural conflict (earns on premium); average 12–18% premium overpayment; independent AI audit is a new category with no incumbent
Who you are
- 15+ years in financial advisory, cost reduction, forensic audit, or a senior Big 4 / mid-tier practice role
- CFOs take your calls — not because you call them, but because you have been useful to them before
- You have introduced a third-party product or service to an existing client before — as a trusted advisor, not a salesperson
- You understand found-money economics intuitively: fee from recovery = no budget approval = shorter cycle = faster close
- You are energised by a variable income model — the ceiling is not a feature, it is the point
What you are not
- A salesperson who needs lead generation — you generate your own pipeline from a network built over 15+ years
- Someone looking for a salary — the retainer covers costs; the income comes from commissions
- Someone who needs 6 months to close — these products demo in 60 minutes and mandate in 21 days
Pay: £80,000.00-£200,000.00 per year
Experience:
- financial advisory, cost reduction or a senior Big 4 role: 10 years (required)
Work Location: Remote
