Sean Watherston’s Expertise I'm an experienced and analytical Chief Financial Officer with a rare combination of CFO, Strategic and Capital Raising/M&A exposure. This has been gained both in industry and as a banker. I have been recognised as one of the 6 most impressive & successful CFOs in Digital Marketing by beststartup.co.uk, which tracks the performance of 130k companies and 500k individuals in the UK's early-stage sector. I successfully create financial and management reporting to meet the needs of institutional investors in high growth businesses, including those showing revenue growth of over 150% per annum. I use this analysis to increase revenues and margins, including increasing revenues by 2% by changing credit card acquirer and cutting costs by 95% from an existing supplier with no reduction in quality of service. I am seasoned in capital raising and M&A. As well as multiple deals while a banker, I have completed the following deals in my finance roles: • raised 135m of equity in 6 transactions from VCs, Private Equity, Corporates and other institutions • sourced 185m of debt in 3 transactions including from high street banks and secondary lenders • renegotiated covenants on 275m of debt in 4 transactions • ran two M&A auctions resulting in one trade sale and one significant minority investment from an investment fund with a combined EV of 130m I enjoy the full range of the CFO role from partnering with the CEO in building the business to being involved in the detail of the analysis with the Finance team and colleagues across the business I'm comfortable operating at a strategic level with the Board and all other stakeholders Core capabilities: Financial reporting Business Planning and budgeting Financial Analysis Business strategy Internal Controls Financial modelling and forecasting Corporate finance cash flow forecasting and cash management Audits and Financial Statements Management Buy-ins and Buy-outs Balance sheet restructuring Raising debt and equity (inc IPOs) Investor relations Mergers & Acquisitions Due diligence processes CFO & COO experience Chartered Accountant ICAS ACA
