Job description

Prospera Executive has been instructed on a CFO search for a PE-backed, multi-state behavioral health services platform with a contracted, public-sector revenue base and a growing payer-reimbursed line.

The business has completed a restructuring and rebuilt its profitability, and the commercial engine is winning new contracts. The focus now is quality of revenue, margin and cash ahead of a sponsor exit. The CFO will report directly to the CEO and act as a true strategic partner, owning the financial agenda through the next phase of value creation and into the transaction.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as strategic partner to the CEO and Board, providing financial clarity and commercial decision support
• Build out FP&A, forecasting and KPI reporting, including pricing and contract-level profitability
• Drive disciplined cash management and present it clearly in monthly operating reviews and quarterly Board meetings
• Strengthen revenue cycle and reimbursement processes to scale the payer-funded revenue stream
• Lead and develop the finance team, adding capability where needed
• Prepare finance, data and reporting for a sponsor-led exit

Ideal Candidate

• Current or former CFO with healthcare services experience
• PE-backed background with confident Board and sponsor communication
• Strong FP&A and modeling track record
• Hands-on revenue cycle and reimbursement knowledge, ideally having built or rebuilt the function
• Commercially sharp operator who has led a business through a demanding period, not only a growth phase

This role suits a CFO who wants to own the finance story of a healthcare platform with a real social purpose, from here through exit.
