Job summary

Co-Source Solutions is seeking an interim, part-time/fractional Chief Financial Officer to lead its client, a Nasdaq-traded company, through its Q3 2026 close and 10-Q filing, then own remediation of material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.

The CFO will coach the finance team, scope work with external advisors, and be hands-on in technical accounting conclusions, focusing on in-house drafting and targeted external review.

Qualifications

• Active CPA with hands-on SEC reporting experience (Form 10-Q / 10-K).
• Direct experience leading remediation of disclosed material weaknesses with credible conclusions.
• Hands-on technical accounting: business combinations and ASC 606, revenue recognition, debt/equity-linked instruments.

• Track record of scoping and negotiating statements of work with specialty advisory firms.

• Triage technical accounting matters (e.g., business combinations, revenue recognition, debt/derivative, impairment, going concern, segment reporting).
• Target roughly 70–80% drafted in-house with outside firms for technical review only.
• Reserve full external drafting for the remaining 20–30%—highest-judgment, highest audit-risk items.
• Obtain written confirmation from the external auditor on current status of control deficiencies from prior reports.
• Implement a mandatory related-party screening step before Board submissions.
• Lead remediation of the company's material weakness categories.
• Finalize accounting policy for revenue recognition expedients; convert checklists into documented controls.
