Chief Financial Officer

Trident Security SolutionsHuntsville, AL
$250,000 - $275,000

About The Position

The CFO will serve as a key strategic leader shaping the company's financial future. Reporting to the CEO, this executive will provide oversight of all financial strategy, corporate finance, capital management, regulatory compliance, and performance optimization across a multi-state operating platform. This is not a conventional accounting position. The CFO will be responsible for building institutional-grade financial infrastructure, advancing operational finance and FP&A capabilities, strengthening margin discipline, and positioning the organization for sustainable growth, M&A activity, and long-term value creation. The right candidate is equally at ease in the boardroom, the field, and in front of clients — translating frontline operational realities into strategic planning and forward-looking financial decisions.
