CFO​/EVP of Finance

Founded in 1935 by World War I veterans, The Fedcap Group was built on a simple but enduring belief: that meaningful work is a pathway to dignity and stability. Nearly 90 years later, that mission continues to drive everything we do.

Today, The Fedcap Group is a $440M global organization headquartered in New York City, with over 3,500 employees, 300+ active contracts, and a pipeline exceeding $1.5B. Through a portfolio of 23 companies, we deliver services across four practice areas (Workforce, Education, Health, and Economic Development), reaching 250,000 people annually and helping more than 25,000 secure employment each year.

We operate across approximately 22 U.S. states and internationally in the UK, Canada, Australia, and other emerging markets, with significant expansion underway. Our work is united by a single purpose: advancing economic wellbeing for people who face barriers to it.

The EVP of Finance is a critical member of The Fedcap Group's executive leadership team and will join the organization as the designated successor to the current CFO. The EVP reports to the CEO and leads the enterprise finance and accounting function. It is a full-time onsite role based in New York City.

This role is structured as a planned handoff: the incoming EVP will work alongside the existing CFO during a six-month transition period, gaining critical institutional knowledge, key stakeholder relationships, and full operational context before stepping into the CFO seat.

An early priority is building depth and resilience across the function, so finance scales without single points of dependency. During the transition, the EVP will document core processes and build a succession bench beneath the top of the function, so Finance stays stable as it grows.

The ideal candidate brings deep financial expertise alongside the strategic vision and leadership maturity to help drive The Fedcap Group from $440M to $1B in revenue. During and after the transition, they will oversee all financial operations across a complex, multi-entity structure, while serving as a trusted thought partner to the CEO and senior leadership on matters ranging from capital allocation and M&A to risk management and long-term planning.

Equally important, this individual will be an architect-builder of systems, teams, and financial culture, bringing the technical command and emotional intelligence needed to lead a high‑performing function at scale.

This is a highly visible, influential role that demands both rigorous financial expertise and the ability to inspire, communicate, and lead across a diverse stakeholder landscape that includes subsidiary leaders, banking partners, government funders, auditors, and board‑level audiences. The EVP of Finance is the architect of business value at The Fedcap Group and the organization's next chief financial leader.

The mandate is modernization. Finance must work as both guardian and accelerator: protecting the organization through accurate reporting, controls, and cash discipline, while accelerating growth through forecasting, capital strategy, contract economics, and decision support. The CFO will lead a multi‑year modernization of the finance operating model, systems, data, and talent so Finance can support a $1B international enterprise.

In the first 12 to 18 months, success looks like:

• Full ownership of the CFO role after the six‑month transition, with key relationships and institutional knowledge in hand.
• A strengthened enterprise FP&A and planning function underway, led by a future SVP of Enterprise FP&A, with a reliable reporting cycle.
• Greater depth beneath the CFO seat, with core processes documented.
• A CEO‑approved, multi‑year roadmap for scaling finance systems and operations.

• Serve as a key strategic advisor to the CEO and senior leadership on including long‑term planning, capital allocation, and investment decisions.
• Lead financial strategies to increase revenue to $1B, achieving cash reserves at 15% of revenue, long‑term savings exceeding $50M, and net assets of $65M by 2030.
• Scale the finance operating model to support a larger, multi‑country…
