Chief Financial Officer
Chief Financial Officer | Minneapolis, MN
SkyWater Search Partners is excited to be partnering with a rapidly growing, institutionally-backed financial services platform based in the Twin Cities to identify a Chief Financial Officer to join their leadership team.
This firm operates one of the most active and acquisitive financial services consolidation platforms in the country, with over $9 billion in assets under management across 22 partner firms and a portfolio that continues to scale through strategic acquisitions. Backed by a privately funded holding company with a long-term ownership mindset, this is not a traditional corporate environment. It is a high-growth, transaction-oriented business where the CFO will have direct visibility to senior ownership and a meaningful seat at the table as the firm prepares for continued institutional growth – including engagement with major private equity and credit partners.
This is a rare opportunity for a finance leader who wants to step into a true enterprise-level CFO role at a company that is actively scaling, building institutional credibility, and has a strong succession plan in place from an existing, tenured CFO who will support the transition.
The Opportunity
As CFO, you will oversee the full finance and accounting function for the company and its portfolio of firms, leading a team of approximately 10 accounting and finance professionals. This role is both a technical finance seat and a strategic leadership position. You will be responsible for guiding the company through continued acquisitions, building out enterprise-level financial infrastructure, and serving as the primary finance voice to institutional partners, equity groups, and the ownership team. The current CFO is transitioning into a specialized role and will remain in the building as a resource — providing an unusually strong foundation for a new leader stepping in.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and oversee all accounting, finance, and reporting functions across the parent entity and its portfolio companies
- Serve as the primary financial liaison to institutional partners, equity groups, and ownership in strategic meetings and presentations
- Drive enterprise financial strategy including forecasting, capital planning, and performance analysis across a multi-entity structure
- Own the acquisition accounting process, including due diligence support, entity integration, and post-close financial management
- Manage and develop a team of approximately 10 accounting and finance professionals
- Build out scalable financial infrastructure and reporting systems as the business grows
- Partner closely with the President and senior leadership on operational and strategic finance initiatives
Qualifications
- CPA required; MBA or additional credentials a plus
- 10+ years of progressive finance and accounting experience, with direct CFO or senior finance leadership experience preferred
- Background in financial services strongly preferred; RIA, insurance, or wealth management industry experience is a significant advantage
- Prior experience with acquisitions, multi-entity structures, and institutional stakeholder management
- Proven ability to lead a finance team and operate as a strategic partner to executive leadership
- Strong communication and executive presence — this person will represent the firm at the highest levels
- Experience with private equity-backed or institutionally-oriented businesses is a plus
- Local to or willing to relocate to the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro; this is a full-time, in-office role

Sales Representative – HVAC Service Contracts
One of our top local HVAC clients has partnered with us to find a proven hunter for their service sales team. They are one of Minnesota’s largest and fastest-growing independent mechanical contractors (Top 5 in service, Top 10 in sheet metal hours statewide). They serve restaurants, convenience stores, data centers, and commercial facilities with HVAC, refrigeration, kitchen equipment, plumbing, and full facility/handyman services – truly a one-stop shop.
This newly created role (growth position, 3rd on the team) owns retention and new revenue across an existing book of accounts while aggressively prospecting for preventative maintenance agreements and small projects. You’ll act as the trusted advisor and liaison between clients and field teams, inheriting house accounts for immediate impact and unlimited upside.
They pay 100% of health/dental/vision for the entire family, and have a great compensation plan landing year 1 employees in the $150k – $200k range, with roadway to $300k+.
They have a high-energy, fun culture with quarterly events, trips throughout the state, and a team that truly enjoys working together.
Outside Sales Representative
This is a rare opportunity to join an employee-owned packaging automation integrator that had a record year north of $100M and is still growing fast. The company designs and integrates full sanitary packaging lines for food, dairy, and beverage manufacturers, filler to pallet, and they’re OEM-neutral, so you’re selling what’s right for the customer, not pushing a specific brand. No territories means no ceiling. Projects run $3M to $20M, commissions pay on booking, and the top rep cleared $500K last year. Strong base salary with a draw to bridge the ramp, plus a 25% ESOP contribution that compounds annually. This is a Michigan-based role, but the right candidate can be anywhere in the Midwest with willingness to travel up to 50%.
This isn’t a transactional role. Sales cycles are long, deals are complex, and you’re working directly with plant engineers and operations leads to figure out how to scale a packaging line. You’ll use a Sandler-based process and have application engineering support once an opportunity is qualified. The culture is values-driven, with a strong emphasis on humility, ownership mentality, and playing well with a tight-knit team. If you want real ownership, financial upside, and a seat at the table in a company that genuinely shares its success with employees, this could be the right fit for you!
