Chief Financial Officer

The Opportunity

The Chief Financial Officer serves as a strategic advisor to the CEO and executive leadership team while leading all aspects of the company's financial strategy and operations.

Beyond traditional finance leadership, this executive will help shape business strategy, improve operational performance, support future acquisitions, strengthen lender and investor relationships, and provide financial insight that enables better decision-making across the organization.

The ideal executive is equally comfortable discussing strategy in the boardroom, partnering with operational leaders, evaluating acquisitions, and rolling up their sleeves to solve business challenges.

Over the past several years, the company has expanded through strategic acquisitions, creating a scalable platform with a strong reputation for technical expertise and client partnership.
