The ideal CFO will combine strong technical finance and accounting expertise with the ability to evaluate development economics, manage capital requirements, build financial models, and advise executive leadership. This individual should be equally comfortable serving as a strategic business partner and taking hands-on ownership of the financial infrastructure needed to support continued growth.
