Our client is a fast-growing private equity-backed technology and B2B SaaS platform focused on delivering data-driven solutions that improve operational performance, visibility, and outcomes across the healthcare ecosystem. The business is entering an exciting phase of growth and scale and is seeking a strategic yet hands-on Chief Financial Officer to partner closely with the CEO, executive leadership team, and private equity sponsors.

This is a unique opportunity for a finance leader who enjoys building, partnering cross-functionally, and operating as both a strategic advisor and hands-on operator within a high-growth environment. The organization already has a strong Controller and accounting foundation in place, and the CFO will focus heavily on strategic finance, FP&A, operational insights, capital planning, and helping scale the business for continued growth and value creation.
