<span>Who We Are Catalyst Capital is a profitable, bootstrapped holding company building a diversified financial services group - education, publishing, software, wealth and tax planning tools, investment products and proprietary trading technology - funded entirely from its own operating cash.<br> We have never taken outside capital.<br> The cash engine is Decentralized Masters, a DeFi education business that went from zero to 150+ people, 4,500+ paying members and roughly $48.<br>6M of FY26 revenue at ~25% earnings before tax in four years.<br> That engine funds everything else on this page.<br> In build over the next 18 months A lifestyle community membership - consumer membership economics, distinct from education.<br> A business mastermind on the Hampton model - high-net-worth peer community, recurring and relationship-led.<br> A regulated investment fund.<br> The capstone.<br> AUM reporting, investor relations, NAV calculation, fund administration, audit and regulatory infrastructure.<br> At most companies this alone is a full-time CFO mandate.<br> Why This Role Exists A single education business at this revenue and margin commands a private-market multiple in the mid single digits of earnings.<br> A diversified group - education, publishing, software, wealth and tax planning tools, investment products and a regulated fund, each valued on its own sector methodology and connected by real shared-services and synergy architecture - is a fundamentally different asset.<br> Closing that gap is the job.<br> Concretely, you will: Build the sum-of-the-parts valuation framework across every business unit, with a defensible methodology and comparables set for each.<br> Structure each entity so that it maximises its own multiple, and structure the group so the whole is worth more than the parts.<br> Take the group from founder-run reporting to institutional-grade financials that survive a quality-of-earnings review and a full due diligence process.<br> Take the group to market early - deliberately ahead of a formal process - and convert what buyers and advisers tell us into operational change while there is still time to act on it.<br> Build the group equity story and the materials that put it in front of institutional buyers, and run the process alongside the CEO and advisers.<br> Design the employee incentive architecture at group level, so the people who carry each unit are aligned before a transaction rather than after it.<br> Stand up the regulated fund and the investor infrastructure behind it.<br> Protect and improve the economics of the cash engine while all of the above happens.<br> If DM slows, none of the rest matters.<br> How This Role Is Resourced You are not being hired to close the books.<br> A Finance Manager reports to you and owns day-to-day financial operations - the monthly close, the accounting system, payroll, reconciliations, deferred revenue schedules and the chart of accounts.<br> Beneath them sit a Financial Controller and an Accounting & Payroll Specialist.<br> What You Will Own1.<br> Enterprise Value & Capital Events (Primary) Own the sum-of-the-parts valuation model: the methodology, comparables and defensible assumptions for each business unit, and the roll-up into a coherent group valuation.<br> Identify and drive the highest-value levers to increase group enterprise value - margin, retention, revenue quality, recurring mix, entity structure, and the synergy story between units.<br> Take the group to institutional readiness: three years of clean, comparable financials per entity, a quality-of-earnings-survivable position, a populated data room and a diligence-ready control environment.<br> Build the group equity story, the information memorandum and the management presentation, and be credible in the room with institutional buyers and their advisers.<br> Run the capital event process alongside the CEO and external advisers - buyer engagement, diligence management, negotiation support, and the post-transaction reporting obligations that follow.<br> 2. Holdco Architecture, Systems & Synergy Design the holding-company structure: which entities sit where, in which jurisdictions, and why - with counsel and tax advisers.<br> Select and implement the group ERP and consolidation platform.<br> Own the selection criteria, the sequence and the delivery.<br> Build shared services where they create real margin and demonstrable synergy value, and resist them where they destroy unit-level clarity.<br> Set intercompany and transfer pricing policy across a group where one entity generates leads, another converts them, a third delivers the product and a fourth manages money - across the UAE, the US and potentially Europe.<br> Produce unit-level P&Ls that roll up cleanly and let leadership see which businesses earn their capital.<br> 3. Capital Allocation Across Unlike Businesses Own the framework that decides where the next dollar of operating cash goes - paid media, headcount, software build, fund seed capital, acquisitions or reserve - with an explicit hurdle rate and time horizon for each.<br> Allocate across assets with genuinely different return profiles, risk characteristics and payback periods, and defend the trade-offs to the CEO with a model behind them.<br> Own group headcount and cost strategy.<br> Be the person who can say no, with numbers.<br> 4. The Cash Engine - Direct-Response Economics Required, not optional.<br> The group is funded by performance marketing and will be for the foreseeable future.<br> Own CAC, LTV, LTV:CAC, ROAS, CPQC, contribution margin and cash payback by funnel, offer, channel and cohort.<br> Own the front-end versus back-end monetisation model, and the timing mismatch between media spend today and payment-plan collections over twelve months.<br> Improve pricing and offer-ladder economics across low, mid and high ticket.<br> Model cohort behaviour, renewals, churn, refunds, chargebacks and payment-plan default — and build them into the forecast rather than discovering them later.<br> Set the media spend guardrails that keep the group liquid in a bad month without capping a good one.<br> 5. Fund Structuring, Regulation & Investor Infrastructure Lead jurisdiction and structure selection for the investment fund with counsel - DIFC, ADGM or otherwise - and own the trade-offs.<br> Stand up the operating infrastructure: fund administration, NAV calculation, audit, fee and carry mechanics, subscription and redemption processes.<br> Build investor reporting infrastructure capable of serving hundreds of investors on a reliable cadence.<br> Own regulatory compliance across the group: UAE regimes including VARA and ADGM where applicable, FTC and advertising-claims compliance in marketing, securities considerations across the investment products, and the regulatory perimeter around the wealth and tax planning tools.<br> 6. Treasury, Cash & Group Risk Own rolling 13-week and 12-month cash forecasts at entity and group level, and the liquidity view across the whole structure.<br> Optimise working capital - processor reserves and holdbacks, refund provisions, receivable ageing on payment plans.<br> Own banking, merchant accounts and payment processors: redundancy, concentration risk, chargeback ratios and cost of processing.<br> Set treasury policy for digital asset exposure: custody, counterparty limits, stablecoin policy, valuation and controls.<br> 7. Legal & Corporate Affairs You are not expected to be a lawyer.<br> You are expected to own the function so the CEO does not have to.<br> Own the relationship with, and the budget for, external counsel, auditors, tax advisers and transaction advisers across jurisdictions.<br> Own the corporate calendar across every entity - filings, licences, renewals, tax deadlines.<br> Nothing lapses, particularly not during diligence.<br> Own commercial terms on major partnerships, vendor, affiliate and talent agreements; legal drafting stays with counsel.<br> What We Offer Competitive base, depending on transaction and holdco experience.<br> Performance bonus tied to enterprise value creation, not just operating margin.<br> A transaction bonus on a successful capital event - the upside here is material and it is the point of the role.<br> Equity participation under the C-suite framework, structured so you have skin in the game before the event rather than after it.<br> UAE-based roles are tax-free, which materially changes take-home pay.<br> Direct access to the founders, a peer relationship with the Group COO, and genuine authority over how capital is deployed.<br> An inherited finance team, so you are building the architecture rather than clearing a backlog alone.<br> If you are a divisional CFO looking for a bigger version of the job you already have, this is not it.<br> If you have built the financial architecture that made a diversified group worth substantially more than the sum of its operating profits - and you want to do it again, from profitability, with your own mandate - we should talk.<br> What You Must BringRequired 10-20 years in finance, including 3+ years as CFO, Group CFO or VP Finance with full P&L and balance sheet accountability.<br> Direct, hands-on experience of a transaction.<br> You have been on a sell-side or minority sale process and can describe what you personally built - the model, the CIM, the data room, the diligence responses - and what went wrong.<br> Multi-entity holdco or portfolio experience.<br> You have run finance across several unlike businesses, not one company with divisions, and you can explain how you consolidated and how you allocated between them.<br> Sum-of-the-parts fluency.<br> You can value a software business, a subscription publishing business, a services business and a fee-earning investment business, and explain why each methodology is the right one.<br> Performance-marketing economics.<br> You have owned unit economics in a business spending meaningful money on paid acquisition - CAC, LTV, payback, front end versus back end.<br> Required. Not the defining filter, but a candidate who cannot do this cannot protect our cash engine.<br> Multi-jurisdiction experience with real consolidation, ideally including the UAE, the US and Europe.<br> Experience owning the relationship with external counsel, auditors and transaction advisers.<br> Fully conversant in both IFRS and US GAAP, and able to defend technical positions under scrutiny.<br> A prolific, demonstrable user of AI tools in finance work - you can show us what you have built or automated.<br> Strongly Preferred Financial services depth - you have worked across at least two of publishing, education, software, wealth management or fund management.<br> You have structured or operated an investment fund: jurisdiction, administration, NAV, fee and carry mechanics, investor reporting.<br> PE-backed or PE operating experience - you understand how institutional buyers think and what they discount.<br> Crypto and digital asset exposure.<br> You do not need to be a trader, but you cannot be squeamish about the asset class.<br> Subscription accounting and deferred revenue depth across high-ticket, payment plan and recurring products.<br> Do Not Apply If… Your entire career has been in large corporate environments with no exposure to founder-led, high-growth or PE-backed businesses.<br> You have never been close to a transaction and would be learning the process on our timeline.<br> You have never treated paid acquisition as a strategic cost lever.<br> You need six months to ramp before you add value.<br> You prefer slow-moving, consensus-heavy environments, or you fold when a founder pushes back.<br> You do not want legal, regulatory and corporate affairs coordination in your remit.<br> You want to build a large team before you have personally fixed the numbers.<br> You are not actively using AI tools in your work today.<br> Personality & Cultural Fit Direct communicator who challenges the founders with data, in the room, in real time.<br> Equally credible with a PE partner and with a media buyer.<br> Both conversations happen in the same week here.<br> Entrepreneurial and comfortable in ambiguity - you build the answer rather than wait for the brief.<br> Zero tolerance for sloppy reporting, in your team or in yourself.<br> Builder mentality.<br> Comfortable in the model and in the detail when it matters.<br></span> </div>
