Job description

A private equity-backed, tech-enabled services organization is seeking an experienced Interim CFO to provide financial leadership and continuity while the company conducts a search for a permanent CFO.

This is a strong opportunity for a seasoned CFO who can step into an established and high-functioning finance organization, provide executive-level leadership, and quickly get up to speed on a complex business. This is not a turnaround or transformation role - the existing finance team is strong and functioning well.

The ideal candidate will bring a strong technical accounting foundation, particularly complex revenue recognition and ASC 606, combined with broad CFO-level experience across finance, operations, treasury, budgeting, and strategic transactions.

Why Consider This Interim CFO Role?

• Approximately 3-month interim assignment with potential to extend
• Opportunity to provide meaningful CFO leadership during a planned executive transition
• Established and experienced finance organization
• PE-backed environment with ongoing M&A activity
• High-level exposure to complex accounting, revenue recognition, and strategic finance

Key Responsibilities Of The Interim CFO

• Provide executive-level financial leadership and stability during the transition to a permanent CFO
• Oversee accounting and financial reporting, with particular attention to complex revenue recognition and ASC 606
• Lead forecasting, budgeting, cash management, treasury, and broader financial planning
• Partner with the CEO and executive leadership on financial and operational decision-making
• Manage lender and investor communications and support valuation activities
• Provide financial leadership related to M&A, including diligence and transaction activity
• Lead and support an established finance team while ensuring continuity across the organization

Qualifications & Requirements Of The Interim CFO

• Proven CFO experience within a complex, multi-faceted organization
• Strong GAAP and technical accounting foundation, with demonstrated expertise in ASC 606 and complex revenue recognition
• Ideally progressed through accounting leadership roles such as CPA, Big 4, Controller, or similar before moving into CFO-level leadership
• PE-backed experience strongly preferred
• Tech-enabled healthcare/services experience is a plus, but industry experience is not required
