Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
We have been retained by a well‑established, growth‑oriented
industrial products organization to identify a
Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to serve as a strategic business partner to the Board of Directors, President, and executive leadership team. This role is responsible for leading all financial, accounting, compliance, and fiduciary functions while helping shape and execute the company’s long‑term growth strategy.
The CFO will play a central role in financial planning, capital allocation, performance management, and evaluating strategic growth opportunities, including M&A and business integrations.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Diversified, high‑margin product portfolio with a best‑in‑class brand position
- Strong, consistent cash flow and a solid financial foundation already in place
- Growth‑focused organization with one major acquisition and continued expansion opportunities ahead
- Well‑run organization with strong processes — a great setup to step into, not a turnaround
- Highly collaborative leadership team with a well‑regarded, people‑first CEO
- Opportunity to partner closely with the Board and leadership to influence strategy and long‑term value creation
