Position Overview

We are seeking a results-driven Senior Vice President of Finance to lead and scale the full Finance and Accounting organization within a rapidly growing, private equity-owned company. This newly created executive role will be instrumental in driving financial excellence, optimizing performance, and supporting strategic initiatives in collaboration with senior leadership and the Board.

The ideal candidate will bring deep technical accounting expertise, be a licensed CPA, and have a strong track record of success in complex, fast-paced environments—particularly those backed by private equity. This role has high visibility and requires a hands-on, strategic leader capable of overseeing all financial operations, including accounting, tax, treasury, reporting, and compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide executive leadership for the full Finance and Accounting function, including corporate accounting, FP&A, tax, treasury, audit, and compliance.

• Ensure timely and accurate financial reporting in accordance with GAAP and regulatory requirements.

• Own budgeting, forecasting, and long-range strategic financial planning in alignment with business objectives.

• Manage relationships with external auditors, lenders, and the private equity sponsor.

• Deliver clear, actionable insights and board-ready reporting to support executive decision-making.

• Optimize capital structure, cash flow, and working capital management to support rapid growth.

• Evaluate potential M&A activity and other strategic growth opportunities in partnership with the CFO and private equity stakeholders.

• Build and develop a high-performing finance team, fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and collaboration.

Qualifications

• CPA required; MBA or other advanced degree preferred.

• 15–20 years of progressive finance and accounting leadership experience, including oversight of full finance departments.

• Strong technical accounting foundation; Big 4 public accounting background highly preferred.

• Experience in a private equity-backed environment is essential; must understand the pace, reporting rigor, and value creation levers typical of PE ownership.

• Proven ability to lead and scale high-performing teams (currently ~12 professionals, within a broader finance department of 25).

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; capable of engaging with the C-suite, Board of Directors, and private equity partners.

• Demonstrated success in high-growth or transformation-stage companies, ideally those that have doubled in scale over a short period.
