Our client is a global platform of operating companies delivering technology-enabled supply chain, logistics, and marketing execution solutions.

The organization operates across North America and internationally, combining technology, analytics, and execution to help enterprise and high-growth clients improve profitability and performance.

The business is in a phase of active transformation and value creation — not steady-state operations.

We are seeking a Transformation CFO — a leader who thrives in complexity, operates with urgency, and brings both hands‑on execution and strategic clarity.

This is a high‑impact role for a finance leader who can:

• Drive liquidity and cash discipline.
• Restore and expand profitability.
• Build a scalable financial foundation.
• Partner with the CEO and Board to create enterprise value.

You will serve as the guardian of capital, architect of financial strategy, and catalyst for performance improvement across a global, multi‑entity platform. This is not a reporting role. This is a build, fix, and scale role.

• Establish daily and weekly cash visibility, forecasting, and control across all entities.
• Drive working capital optimization, collections discipline, and vendor management.
• Implement a tight operating cadence, including 13‑week cash flow, variance tracking, and rapid interventions.
• Lead lender engagement, covenant compliance, and short‑ and medium‑term liquidity planning.

• Own full P&L performance with accountability for margin improvement.
• Drive cost optimization, pricing discipline, and operational efficiency initiatives.
• Partner with business leaders to improve unit economics and contract profitability.
• Build real‑time KPI dashboards that enable action, not just reporting.

• Lead capital strategy across debt, equity, and internal allocation.
• Develop scenario modeling, restructuring options, and value creation plans.
• Support M&A, divestitures, and integrations with a focus on ROI and execution discipline.

• Oversee FP&A, Accounting, Tax, Treasury, Compliance, and Financial Reporting.
• Ensure compliance with US GAAP and global statutory requirements.
• Establish clear, decision‑grade reporting for the CEO, Board, and investors.
• Strengthen internal controls while maintaining speed and agility.

• Partner on pricing, deal structuring, and client negotiations.
• Ensure contracts reflect economic reality, margin expectations, and risk mitigation.
• Provide financial rigor to growth initiatives and new service offerings.

• Lead finance transformation, including ERP optimization, automation, and data governance.
• Build a forward‑looking finance function leveraging analytics and AI.

• Build and lead a high‑performing global finance organization.
• Operate effectively across a US–India model and multi‑entity structure.
• Foster a culture of ownership, urgency, accountability, and continuous improvement.

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field required.
• MBA and/or CPA preferred.
• Equivalent experience leading complex financial organizations may be considered in lieu of formal credentials.

• 20+ years of progressive finance leadership experience.
• Proven experience as a CFO or equivalent senior finance leader.
• Demonstrated success in turnaround, restructuring, or high cash‑pressure environments.
• Experience in multi‑entity, global organizations with US GAAP reporting.
• Track record of direct engagement with Boards, lenders, and investors.

• Deep command of US GAAP, financial reporting, and internal controls.
• Strong expertise in cash flow management, working capital optimization, and liquidity planning.
• Proven ownership of P&L,…
