Job description

job summary: Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Our client is a premier, privately held organization specializing in the global wholesale distribution and import/export of agricultural and industrial essentials.

We are seeking a CFO who thrives in a private-ownership environment-someone who values direct impact, rapid decision-making, and the opportunity to be a true strategic partner to the CEO without the noise of public quarterly earnings calls.

As the CFO, you will be the primary architect of our financial strategy. You will ensure financial integrity across our global footprint, overseeing all Treasury, Accounting, and risk management functions. This is a "hands-on" leadership role where you will mentor a dedicated team and drive the financial health of a working-capital-intensive business.
