Chief Financial Officer (CFO) – Columbus, OH
Compensation: $150,000+

Ready to step into a CFO role where your decisions actually move the needle?

We’re working with a growing Columbus-area organization that’s entering its next stage of expansion — and they need a strategic, hands-on finance leader who can build, refine, and scale. This isn’t a “maintenance” CFO seat. This is an opportunity to shape the financial future of the company and leave a real, lasting fingerprint.

What you’ll lead

Own the financial strategy, partnering directly with executive leadership and ownership
Oversee accounting, finance, budgeting, forecasting, and cash management with accuracy and discipline
Strengthen controls, processes, and systems to support aggressive growth plans
Drive budgeting cycles, performance analysis, and decision-support insights
Collaborate closely with operations to improve margins and profitability
Manage banking relationships, audits, tax strategy, and external financial partners
Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing finance team
Play a key role in capital planning, growth initiatives, and potential M&A activity

What makes you a strong fit

Experience as a CFO, VP of Finance, or senior financial leader in a growth environment
Deep knowledge of financial reporting, forecasting, and cash management
Proven success improving processes and modernizing finance functions
Strong leadership skills with the ability to influence at the executive level
Comfortable balancing strategy with hands-on execution
CPA and/or MBA preferred, but not required with the right background

Why this opportunity stands out

High-impact role with a direct seat at the table
Real autonomy to build, improve, and innovate
Competitive compensation with meaningful growth potential
Culture that values transparency, partnership, and forward-thinking leadership

If you’re energized by building — not just maintaining — and you want to help guide a company through its next phase of growth, this could be the right move.
