CFO / Business Operations Leader

Cherry Bekaert

CFO / Business & Operations Leader

Confidential | Professional Services Organization


We are conducting a confidential search for a CFO / Business & Operations Leader to act as the top financial and operational executive for a professional services firm.


This role goes beyond traditional finance - it's for a leader who enjoys being the "glue" of the organization.


Core Focus Areas

  • Financial leadership: reporting, forecasting, cash management, and controls
  • Operational leadership: overseeing backoffice functions and business operations
  • Strategic partnership with ownership/partners on growth, efficiency, and risk
  • Translating financial data into actionable business decisions
  • Supporting a peoplecentric, professional services culture
Ideal Profile
  • CFO, Head of Finance, or senior Controller experience within professional services
  • Demonstrated success leading finance and operations
  • Comfortable in smaller environments where impact > hierarchy
  • Pragmatic, businessminded, and approachable leadership style
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Trusted advisor role to leadership
  • Longterm impact on business direction
  • Highautonomy, lowbureaucracy environment
