• Develop and enhance KPI reporting and financial dashboards to support decision-making across the organization
• Lead annual budgeting and long-range strategic planning processes
• Deliver monthly, quarterly, and annual financial reporting packages to the rest of the C-suite, Board, and PE sponsors
• Prepare for and lead Board meetings, presenting financial performance, business trends, growth initiatives, and strategic recommendations
• Drive EBITDA growth, cash flow optimization, and scalable financial processes across the platform

Requirements & Nice-to-Haves

• Previous CFO experience within a multi-site veterinary organization strongly preferred
• Demonstrated success leading finance organizations for businesses generating $200M+ in annual revenue
• Deep expertise across both operational finance and accounting
• Proven ability to partner effectively with CEOs, Boards of Directors and/or PE sponsors
• Strong background in budgeting, forecasting, financial modelling, and performance management
• Track record of supporting growth activity (M&A / De Novo / capital deployment)
