Original job description

We are looking for a strategic Chief Financial Officer to join our team on a Contract basis. This role will guide financial planning, liquidity management, and executive decision support while helping evaluate contractual and operational risk across the business. The ideal candidate brings strong judgment, analytical depth, and the ability to translate financial data into practical recommendations for leadership.

Responsibilities:

  • Evaluate commercial agreements, including security-related financing documents and confidentiality agreements, to identify financial exposure and reduce organizational risk.
  • Assess customer and partner financial stability by reviewing company background, size, creditworthiness, and potential insolvency indicators through external business intelligence sources.
  • Lead budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling activities, including adapting plans into revised divisional reporting formats and providing analysis for senior leadership.
  • Deliver executive-level insights through ad hoc financial reviews covering topics such as payment processing expenses, pricing considerations for major accounts, and commission structure analysis.
  • Partner with operations, information technology, and other internal teams to examine cost drivers, support business cases, and improve financial decision-making.
  • Support month-end close and financial reporting processes by ensuring accurate analysis of results, cash flow position, and capital needs.
  • Assist with customs and tariff-related financial support in coordination with the Controller and other stakeholders as needed.
  • Create clear documentation of finance processes, analyses, and key responsibilities to support continuity and knowledge transfer.
  • Demonstrated experience in a senior finance leadership role such as CFO or equivalent executive-level position.
  • Strong background in cash flow analysis, capital management, month-end close, and financial reporting.
  • Proven ability to build budgets, forecasts, and financial models that support planning and executive decision-making.
  • Experience reviewing commercial contracts and contract administration matters with a focus on financial and operational risk.
  • Familiarity with evaluating company credit profiles, business history, and solvency using third-party research tools.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including operations, IT, and executive leadership.
  • Strong analytical, communication, and documentation skills with the ability to present complex findings clearly.
