The mandate

A portfolio company needs a finance leader who can produce a defensible number quickly and manage cash under pressure. You take the CFO seat, install the reporting discipline the sponsor requires, and either stabilize the function for a permanent hire or carry the business through a specific event — a covenant issue, a system conversion, an exit process.

What you'll own

Cash flow forecasting and management, typically 13-week rolling at minimum
Working capital improvement across receivables, payables, and inventory
Monthly close discipline and reporting quality — accuracy first, then speed
The sponsor and lender reporting package, including covenant compliance
Budget, forecast, and variance discipline the operating team can actually use
Financial metrics and KPI architecture aligned to the investment thesis
Board and sponsor communication
Assessment and development of the existing finance team

First 90 days

Get to a cash forecast you trust. Get to a close you trust. Then start improving the numbers rather than defending them.

What you bring

15+ years in finance leadership, with prior CFO or divisional CFO experience
Direct private equity portfolio company experience — you know what sponsor reporting demands
Manufacturing cost accounting depth, including standard cost, variance analysis, and inventory valuation
Hands-on cash management under constraint
Lender relationship experience, including covenant negotiation
Comfort with a finance function that is understaffed, under-systemized, or both

Strong plus: ERP conversion experience; exit or sale process participation; distressed or turnaround situations; CPA or MBA.
