About the Opportunity

Our client, a well-established, multi-entity organization based in Alaska with federal government contracting operations, is seeking a seasoned finance executive to serve as Sr. CFO. This is an enterprise-level mandate for a leader who has already run a CFO seat at scale — someone ready to bring proven judgment to a complex, consolidated, multi-organizational structure and sit at the table with the President and Board on the company's biggest decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Direct accounting and finance talent strategy across a multi-organizational enterprise, including staff development and succession

• Own the accuracy and integrity of consolidated financial reporting under GAAP and applicable trust/tax basis reporting requirements

• Govern internal controls, federal contracting compliance (FAR/CAS), and audit posture for DCAA/IRS engagements

• Serve as corporate lead on startups, mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures — from deal analysis through integration

• Set enterprise-wide budgeting, forecasting, and pricing strategy across CPFF, T&M, and FFP contract types

• Act as a strategic counterpart to the President/CEO in shaping long-range corporate direction

• Direct cash management, capital strategy, and banking/partner relationships to support future growth

• Serve as a trusted voice in Board and shareholder governance

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Business Administration, Accounting, or Finance required

• 10+ years of progressive financial, operational, and strategic leadership experience

• Demonstrated success as a sitting CFO

• Substantive experience partnering with or reporting to a Board of Directors

• Deep, hands-on experience overseeing financials for a $400M+ federal contracting business and a $250M+ commercial business

• History of scaling and transforming finance/accounting organizations

• Based in Anchorage or elsewhere in Alaska, or willing to relocate

• CPA preferred

• Experience with shareholder-owned organizations, including shareholder or trust-basis financial reporting
