Finatal is partnering with a leading private equity firm on the appointment of a Chief Financial Officer for a high-growth, ~$200M revenue manufacturing business.
The company is a market leader with a strong U.S. manufacturing footprint, international operations and continued investment in new product development.
This is a high-impact opportunity for an experienced PE-backed CFO to partner with the CEO, board and sponsor as the business continues to scale and prepares for a future exit. The CFO will build on an established finance function, enhancing operational visibility, KPI management, data integrity and product-level analytics while identifying opportunities for margin improvement and cost optimization.
The business is headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, with a strong preference for the CFO to be based locally.
Qualifications & Experience:
- Prior CFO or senior finance leadership experience within a private equity-backed middle-market business
- Successful experience leading or playing a significant role in a private equity exit
- Strong manufacturing, engineered products or other SKU-intensive product experience
- Demonstrated understanding of manufacturing economics, including product-level profitability, cost structures, margins and operational KPIs
- Strong accounting foundation, ideally with a CPA, combined with FP&A, analytics and strategic finance capabilities
- International finance experience, particularly across European operations.
- A hands-on, operational leadership style with the ability to engage effectively with manufacturing teams and spend time within the facilities
- Confident executive presence and the ability to challenge, influence and partner with a highly collaborative senior leadership team
