Alfa Financial Software Holdings has announced that Andrew Dickson has been appointed as its new chief financial officer (CFO).

He has joined the asset finance mission-critical software developer from Cerillion, where he had served as CFO since 2022.

Prior to this, Dickson spent seven years at Videndum in a number of senior finance roles in both the UK and the US.

He will replace Duncan Magrath, who announced his intention to retire in December.

Dickson will join the firm as CFO designate on 6 July and will join as an executive director with effect from 16 September. Magrath will step down from the board on this date but will be available until the end of the year to ensure a smooth handover.

Chief executive officer at Alfa, Andrew Denton, said: "We are delighted to welcome Andrew Dickson to Alfa. He joins Alfa at an exciting time and his broad financial knowledge and experience will help support our growth ambitions. Our thanks go to Duncan Magrath for his valuable contribution over the last six years and we wish him well for his retirement."

Dickson concluded: "I am very excited to be joining Alfa. I am really looking forward to the opportunity to work with my new colleagues, experience the strength of the Alfa culture and to contribute to its continued success."
