Chief Financial Officer Description

Our client is looking for a high-impact, hands-on Chief Financial Officer to lead the finance function for a growing, PE-backed manufacturing business with multi-site operations and $150M+ in revenue.

This is a phenomenal opportunity to make a measurable impact within a fast-paced, growth-oriented company where finance plays a critical role in shaping business strategy and operational success.

• Oversee cash flow management, liquidity planning, and working capital optimization initiatives

• Manage banking, lender, and external financial relationships, ensuring compliance and timely, accurate reporting

• Partner cross-functionally to improve pricing strategy, margins, cost structure, and operational efficiency

• Oversee manufacturing finance functions, including cost accounting, inventory control, and capital expenditures

• Support acquisitions, integration activities, capital investments, and strategic growth initiatives as needed

• Build and lead a high-performing finance and accounting team
