The Opportunity

The company operates in a high-growth healthcare services segment and is positioned for scale through operational optimization, disciplined financial management, and potential M&A activity.

The CFO will serve as a key architect of enterprise value creation, ensuring financial rigor, scalable infrastructure, and investor-grade reporting.

• Lead all financial operations including FP&A, accounting, treasury, tax, and revenue cycle oversight
• Build investor-ready financial reporting and board materials
• Drive EBITDA expansion through financial discipline and KPI visibility
• Partner with operations to enhance margin, cash flow, and working capital performance
• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning processes
• Support M&A evaluation, diligence, integration, and synergy realization
• Strengthen internal controls, audit readiness, and compliance frameworks
• Prepare the organization for a successful liquidity event

Required Experience & Profile

• Prior CFO experience within a private equity-backed healthcare organization
• Direct involvement in a successful exit (sale to strategic, sponsor-to-sponsor, or recapitalization)
• Strong command of healthcare financial drivers including reimbursement models and regulatory considerations
• Proven experience building scalable finance infrastructure in a growth environment
• Deep understanding of EBITDA, cash flow optimization, and value creation planning
• Board-facing executive with strong investor communication skills
• Hands-on leader comfortable operating in fast-paced, performance-driven environments

Ideal Background

• Multi-site healthcare services (provider platforms, MSOs, post-acute, behavioral health, home-based care, specialty services, etc.)
• Experience supporting add-on acquisitions and integration
• CPA or advanced financial credential preferred

Candidate Profile

We are seeking a disciplined, analytically rigorous finance leader who combines strategic perspective with operational execution. The ideal candidate understands the cadence, transparency, and accountability required in private equity ownership and thrives in a growth-oriented, performance-driven culture.

We are building a pipeline of CEO/CFO candidates for our private equity client; these are real job opportunities throughout the United States.
