Background

About Andy White

I am a FCMA, CGMA-qualified Chief Financial Officer / Finance Director with over 25 years’ experience leading finance and operations at board level across SME, family run, PE-backed, public ownership, and globally listed organisations. My career spans healthcare, pharmaceuticals, utilities, engineering, manufacturing, software, and service-based industries — giving me a broad commercial perspective and the ability to adapt quickly to different business models. What drives me is helping businesses grow, transform, and create long-term value. I am often brought in during periods of change — whether that’s scaling a PE-backed business, professionalising reporting and governance, integrating acquisitions, or leading operational improvements. I have a track record of strengthening financial resilience, improving profitability, and building the structures that enable leadership teams to make confident, strategic decisions. Highlights of my career include: Leading finance and operations to support revenue growth and profitability improvements in both SMEs and larger listed businesses. Building strong board and investor relationships, ensuring transparency and trust in high-stakes environments. Delivering ERP and systems transformations that improved reporting speed, accuracy, and decision-making. Driving cash and risk management strategies that safeguarded business continuity and enabled investment in growth. Developing and mentoring high-performing teams who thrive in dynamic, fast-changing environments. I see the CFO role as much more than numbers — it’s about influencing, partnering, and enabling strategy. My style is collaborative, commercially focused, and grounded in the belief that finance should help unlock opportunities, not just report on the past. I am now looking to bring this experience to a forward-thinking organisation as its next CFO, where I can work with the CEO, board, and investors to accelerate growth, secure investment, and deliver sustainable value.
