Interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

We're seeking a hands-on Interim CFO. This role requires an executive who has successfully navigated private equity-backed environments, major acquisitions, and corporate turnarounds—not from the sidelines, but by leading the work firsthand.

To be considered, candidates must have demonstrated experience:

Leading a major acquisition or integration in a hands-on leadership role
Driving a business turnaround through operational and financial transformation
Working within a private equity-backed organization and understanding the pace, accountability, and execution required

This is a builder's role. You'll be expected to create structure where it doesn't exist, establish a clear roadmap, and lead the finance organization through significant change while maintaining day-to-day operations.

What You'll Do

Lead the finance and accounting integration following a significant acquisition.
Build and execute a future-state finance organization, including organizational design, workstreams, milestones, and risk mitigation plans.
Serve as both a strategic leader and a hands-on operator, stepping into the details when needed.
Partner with executive leadership to drive transformation while maintaining business continuity.
Assess the existing finance organization, strengthen internal capabilities, and leverage interim or third-party resources where appropriate.
Oversee ERP integration efforts
Drive synergy realization across procurement, pricing, operational efficiencies, headcount optimization, and indirect spend.
Build credibility and alignment across both legacy organizations during a period of significant change.

Who You Are

This opportunity is designed for a finance executive who thrives in complex, high-pressure environments.

You have:

Proven success leading a large-scale acquisition or integration from the front lines—not simply providing executive oversight.
A track record of successfully leading companies through turnaround situations.
Private equity experience with a strong understanding of value creation, execution, and operational rigor.
Experience building integration playbooks, prioritizing workstreams, and quickly identifying where additional resources are needed.
Strong accounting, finance, FP&A, and operational finance expertise.
Experience leading ERP implementations or finance system integrations
The ability to remain calm under pressure while bringing clarity, confidence, and decisive leadership to teams navigating change.
