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.
