Aptitude Software has announced that its chief financial officer (CFO), Mike Johns, is stepping down from the role.

Johns has agreed to remain as CFO and as a director of the company to support the business, oversee the full year 2024 results, and ensure an orderly transition.

Aptitude provides finance transformation software solutions, specialising in fully autonomous finance.

The company said its organisation had been “realigned” to support new product and business priorities, including the creation of a smaller, globally integrated senior management team with increased travel requirements and expanded spans of control.

Aptitude confirmed that the search for Johns’ successor had commenced, and that the group would share further details “in due course”.

“The board would like to extend its thanks to Mike for his support of Aptitude over his seven years with the group,” a statement from the group said.

“In preparation for this transition, the financial and commercial functions have been strengthened while we appoint Mike’s successor. A further update will be provided when Mike steps down from the Aptitude board.
