Our Company

We are a fast-growing, Ireland and UK-based eCommerce agency, specialising in delivering complex B2B and B2C digital commerce solutions for leading brands across multiple sectors. In addition to our established agency services, we've recently developed a proprietary cloud-based B2B eCommerce platform, designed to help mid-market and enterprise businesses efficiently manage and scale their online operations.

As we embark on the next phase of our growth — scaling both our services and SaaS offering — we are seeking an experienced, commercially astute, and strategically minded Fractional CFO to join us. This is a pivotal leadership role at a critical and exciting stage of our journey.

The Role

The Fractional CFO will serve as a key financial leader and strategic advisor, working closely with the CEO and leadership team. You will oversee the financial health and operational finance functions of the business while providing strategic financial insights to support growth and optimise operational efficiency.

A major focus of this role will be leading our investment fundraising process for the new B2B eCommerce platform, ensuring we are financially investor-ready and well-positioned to secure capital from the right partners.

  • Ensure accurate, timely, and compliant reporting for both Ireland and UK operations
  • Support the implementation and optimisation of financial systems, processes, and controls

Agency Finance Leadership
  • Track and optimise project profitability, resource utilisation, client margins, and operational KPIs
  • Manage revenue recognition policies for both project-based and recurring revenue contracts
  • Provide financial oversight for commercial contracts, client agreements, and vendor negotiations

Governance, Compliance & Risk Management
  • Liaise with external accountants, auditors, tax advisors, and legal partners
  • Ensure compliance with tax, audit, legal, and corporate governance requirements in both Ireland and the UK
  • Identify and mitigate financial and operational risks to safeguard business continuity

Requirements

Essential Experience:
  • Proven track record as a CFO, Finance Director, or senior finance leader, ideally within a digital agency, eCommerce, SaaS, or technology services business
  • In-depth knowledge of financial regulations, tax compliance, reporting standards, and audit processes in both Ireland and the UK
  • Demonstrable success in raising investment (equity, debt, or private capital) for product or platform-based businesses
  • Strong understanding of agency and SaaS business models, financial metrics, revenue recognition practices, and client profitability management
  • Experience working with investors, corporate finance advisors, and funding institutions
  • Familiarity with government and Enterprise Ireland grant submissions, R&D tax credit claims, management accounts preparation, government statistics reporting, and end-of-year closing procedures

Skills & Attributes:
  • Commercially astute with strong financial modelling and strategic planning capability
  • Hands-on, pragmatic, and solutions-focused, with a proactive and collaborative leadership style
  • Excellent leadership, stakeholder management, and communication skills
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, founder-led, entrepreneurial environment

  • Play a key leadership role in an ambitious, innovative business at a pivotal stage of growth
  • Lead a high-impact investment process for a market-ready SaaS platform
