    Description

    Job Title: Chief Financial Officer



    Why This Opportunity Stands Out:



    • Executive Leadership Opportunity! Serve as a strategic financial partner to senior leadership and a prominent private equity sponsor within a ~$250M organization.

    • Significant M&A Exposure! Lead financial strategy, acquisition integration, and value creation initiatives within an active buy-and-build environment.

    • Lead Financial Transformation! Drive ERP modernization, data consolidation, treasury improvements, and scalable financial reporting infrastructure.

    • Direct Impact on Profitability! Influence EBITDA growth, operating margins, cash flow, and strategic business decisions.

    • Compelling Compensation! Competitive executive base salary, substantial annual bonus potential, and additional performance incentives


    Key Responsibilities:



    • Lead all aspects of finance, accounting, FP&A, treasury, financial reporting, and strategic planning for a private equity-backed services organization.

    • Partner with executive leadership and the PE sponsor to execute growth strategies, drive EBITDA improvements, and optimize financial performance.

    • Oversee M&A financial diligence, acquisition integration, and post-acquisition performance analysis.

    • Lead ERP and financial systems transformations, consolidating fragmented data and improving reporting, automation, and operational efficiency.

    • Develop sophisticated financial models, cash flow forecasts, KPIs, and profitability analysis to support strategic decisions.

    • Manage banking relationships, working capital, financial controls, and board-level reporting.

    • Develop and mentor the finance organization while establishing scalable processes and infrastructure.


    Qualifications:



    • Established CFO experience required, preferably within a $100M–$500M private equity-backed organization.

    • Strong background in M&A, acquisition integration, financial transformation, and PE sponsor relationships.

    • Experience within professional services, fee-based B2B services, or transaction-heavy, technology-enabled environments strongly preferred.

    • Demonstrated success leading ERP implementations, financial systems migrations, and reporting improvements.

    • Advanced financial modeling, Excel, FP&A, cash flow management, and EBITDA optimization expertise.

    • Proven ability to operate strategically while remaining hands-on and driving initiatives independently.

    • CPA or CFA highly preferred.
