Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) based in the United States.

This is a high-impact CFO opportunity within a private equity-backed healthcare software business.
You will take ownership of finance across planning, reporting, accounting oversight, cash management, and strategic finance.
The role offers meaningful influence over pricing, margins, growth priorities, customer economics, and overall financial performance.
You will work closely with executive leadership, the board, investors, and lenders to turn financial insights into operating decisions.
An established finance foundation is already in place, including controller support, bookkeeping, AP/AR resources, completed audits, and prior transaction experience.
The position combines hands-on financial leadership with the opportunity to strengthen systems, processes, reporting, and finance capabilities as the business scales.
It is well suited to an experienced finance leader stepping into a first CFO role or an existing CFO seeking substantial operating and strategic influence.

As Chief Financial Officer, you will lead the finance function and serve as a key strategic partner to leadership and stakeholders across the business.

• Own the three-statement financial model, annual budget, rolling forecasts, and variance analysis.
• Translate recurring revenue, retention, margins, unit economics, and customer/product profitability into actionable business decisions.
• Partner with leadership on pricing, renewals, commercial agreements, vendor negotiations, and initiatives designed to improve P&L performance.
• Deliver monthly and quarterly reporting for management, the board, investors, and lenders, supported by meaningful KPI dashboards and clear financial narratives.
• Partner with the controller on financial close, GAAP reporting, internal controls, audits, tax, and compliance relationships.
• Improve financial visibility and systems as the organization grows, including accurate treatment of cash collections, deferred revenue, and recognized revenue.
• Lead liquidity planning, banking relationships, debt facilities, and covenant reporting with support from the existing finance team.
• Advise leadership on strategic priorities, growth opportunities, and resource allocation.
• Maintain transaction readiness and support financial diligence, valuation, deal structuring, and other strategic transactions.
• Expand finance resources and capabilities as business requirements evolve.

• Hands-on finance experience within a private equity-backed or venture-backed software business.
• Demonstrated ownership of significant finance workstreams and the ability to operate across FP&A, reporting, liquidity planning, and accounting oversight.
• At least 2 years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, or Big 4 audit/assurance.
• At least 2 years of experience in private equity, venture capital, or senior finance leadership within software/SaaS.
• Strong understanding of software finance metrics and GAAP reporting, including recurring revenue, retention, unit economics, deferred revenue, and cash versus recognized revenue.
