Ref: FD Capital – Fractional CFO, Hotels
Role

FD Capital is supporting an established, owner-managed UK hotel group in appointing a Fractional Chief Financial Officer. The group operates a portfolio of more than a dozen hotels across the UK, combining owned properties, hotels managed on behalf of third-party owners and a joint venture with a private equity partner. It has traded in its current form since 2008, and its owners have spent more than 25 years in the hotel sector.

The group has a capable in-house finance team that runs reporting and the day-to-day finance function. What it needs now is a senior, credible CFO to be the external face of finance: someone banks, lenders, investors and partners recognise, who can secure the funding for the group's next phase of growth over the coming two to three years.

This is a fractional appointment rather than a full-time role. It suits an experienced hotel CFO or Finance Director who already works across a small portfolio of clients, or who wants a meaningful, long-term part-time role with a growing group. Location is genuinely flexible: hotel funding experience matters far more than time spent in the office.
