About The Position

Lead the finance transformation at a PE-backed platform, driving systems integration, scalable FP&A, and aggressive buy-and-build growth toward a $15M+ EBITDA exit. This is a remote role (Houston preferred) with accelerated timeline to exit and equity payout in 18-30 months. It offers a large impact on the entire finance/accounting function including systems and FP&A. The role is a key player working closely with the CEO in a high-growth, capital backed buy-and-build environment.

Requirements

Multi-time Proven PE-Backed CFO Experience: Deep experience as a CFO in a private equity-backed setting, with a strong handle on buy-and-build dynamics, fast growth pressures, board reporting, and investor communications.
Hands-On Builder with Systems Expertise: A roll-up-your-sleeves leader who can spearhead NetSuite implementation, build FP&A from the ground up, and enforce process discipline across a fragmented, multi-entity accounting landscape.
Strategic Partner & Team Leader: A trusted right hand to the CEO, capable of scaling the finance function, coaching a dispersed team, and establishing rigorous accountability and reporting rhythms.

Responsibilities

Build and scale finance function: Set up a solid finance org from scratch, covering financial reporting, FP&A framework, and KPI tracking to support growth.
Lead systems integration: Own the rollout and fine-tuning of NetSuite, Salesforce, and field service tools to consolidate accounting and ops data streams.
Financial reporting and board communication: Manage month-end close, deliver timely and accurate financials, and provide clear, transparent updates to the board and CEO.
Drive accounting discipline and process improvements: Enhance invoicing speed, enforce accountability, and mentor the accounting team for consistent, high-quality execution.
Support M&A integration: Lead post-LOI acquisition integration efforts, coordinate with integration managers, and align financial and operational processes across acquired businesses.
