- Develop and upgrade reporting, forecasting, financial systems, and day-to-day finance operations to a more institutional level.
- Contribute to M&A assessment, post-deal integration, and other corporate development efforts.
- Improve KPI tracking, operational discipline, and evidence-based decision-making across the company.
- Maintain strong relationships with lenders, investors, and the board.
- Help prepare the company for sustained growth and eventual exit readiness.
Candidate profile
- Experience as a CFO or in a senior finance leadership role within a private equity-backed software, fintech, or technology-enabled business.
- Background in fast-growing, operationally complex environments.
- Proven ability to build finance infrastructure that can scale with the business.
- Experience working closely with private equity sponsors and executive leadership teams.
- M&A, integration, and transformation exposure is strongly preferred.
- Must bring both strategic thinking and a hands-on execution mindset.
Additional details
- Candidates based on the East Coast are preferred.
- Regular travel and on-site presence will be required.
- The compensation package is competitive and includes meaningful equity participation.
