CFO - Chief Financial Officer

This Long-term Contract position will guide budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning efforts while serving as a trusted advisor to executive leadership during an important transition period. The role is centered on strategic finance, performance insight, and cross-functional partnership rather than direct ownership of daily accounting activities.

• Direct the annual budgeting cycle and deliver a structured process that supports timely planning and informed business decisions.

• Refine recurring forecast activities by improving accuracy, consistency, and visibility into financial expectations.

• Work closely with senior executives to shape financial strategy, evaluate results, and connect performance trends to operational priorities.

• Provide leadership and mentorship to finance management, helping the team stay aligned on goals, reporting needs, and planning deadlines.

• Translate financial data into clear recommendations for leadership by highlighting risks, opportunities, and business impacts.

• Strengthen financial planning practices and enhance reporting transparency across the organization.

• Act as a strategic finance partner during a period of organizational change, offering steady guidance and decision support.

• Maintain continuity within the finance function and support an effective transition to the permanent CFO once selected.

• Offer executive-level oversight to accounting leadership as needed, while leaving day-to-day accounting execution with the existing team.

Qualifications:

• 10+ years of progressive finance leadership experience, including service as a CFO or senior finance executive.
• Demonstrated success leading budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning and analysis initiatives.
• Strong background in executive partnership, with the ability to advise senior leaders on financial performance and business strategy.
• Experience stepping into complex environments quickly and delivering immediate financial leadership.
• Prior work in financial services, lending, banking, or another regulated finance setting is strongly preferred.
• Comfortable supporting growth-stage or rapidly changing organizations with evolving finance needs.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to present financial insights clearly to executive stakeholders.
• Ability to work effectively in a remote or hybrid environment.
