Exit readiness is not a six-week project. Dominic Wilkinson, CFO of Team Sport, the UK's largest indoor go-karting brand, shares what it actually takes to be PE-backed and exit-ready at the same time, why due diligence rewards the data-driven, and how a consumer leisure business is deploying AI to manage its biggest cost pressure: people.

Dominic also covers CFO career development in private equity, what finance leaders consistently underestimate when entering PE for the first time, and why the CEO-CFO relationship is the partnership that decides whether a business scales or stalls.

A direct, sharp conversation for anyone building a finance career in a PE-backed environment or navigating the complexity of high-growth consumer businesses.
