About the job
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, forecasting, 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
