SkyWater is thrilled to be partnering with a growing financial institution looking for an experienced Chief Financial Officer to serve as its senior financial leader and a key member of the executive leadership team. Reporting directly to the CEO, this highly visible role will lead the finance organization and serve as a strategic partner to executive leadership, ownership, and the Board.
The CFO will play an important role in supporting the organization’s next phase of growth, with responsibility for strengthening capital planning, liquidity and balance-sheet management, forecasting, performance analytics, and business-line profitability. This leader will also help modernize the finance function, leveraging technology, automation, data, and AI-assisted tools to create more forward-looking financial insights and improve decision-making.
The organization operates across traditional consumer and commercial banking while also offering a broader range of specialized and technology-enabled financial products and services. This creates a level of complexity beyond that of a traditional community bank and requires a CFO who can balance strong financial discipline with an entrepreneurial, growth-oriented mindset.
The ideal candidate is a seasoned banking finance executive with deep technical expertise, experience operating within a larger or complex financial institution, and a proven ability to build and lead high-performing teams. This individual will be proactive, solutions-oriented, and comfortable partnering across the organization to help the business scale responsibly.
Opportunity to join a fantastic financial institution in the Twin Cites — if you are currently in the Personal, SBA, C&I or CRE lending space and desire an organization that can open a multitude of career pathways and options for you in the future, this is something you should consider. The organization will hire at multiple levels, so all candidates with 2+ years of experience are encouraged to apply.
This organization has a strong track record of promoting internally, rewarding top performers, and allowing people to pursue internal opportunities. Strict no-ego policy and picky with the personalities they hire — very protective of their culture.
Ideal candidates have 2+ years in credit analysis or comparable lending experience.
This role is hybrid and located in the Twin Cities. Relocation candidates with ties to Minnesota will be considered.
We are partnering with a well-established organization to identify an experienced Director of Payroll to lead a complex, high-volume payroll function.
This is a highly visible leadership opportunity for someone who combines strategic payroll leadership with strong technical expertise and a hands-on operating style. The Director will be responsible for ensuring accurate and timely payroll execution, strengthening processes and controls, developing the payroll team, and driving continued improvement across the function.
The ideal candidate has led payroll in a large, complex organization and is comfortable operating in an environment with multiple states, multiple employee populations, and sophisticated payroll requirements.
I’m partnering exclusively with a well-established organization to help them fill a newly-created Accounting Manager position. This person will manage a team of 10 and lead AP/AR and transactional accounting. This will be a hands on position, not just reviewing. The ideal candidate has 7+ years of AP/AR experience and has previous management experience. This is part of succession planning and this person will have a direct promotion path to Controller.
We are partnering with a well-established manufacturing organization to identify a Senior Financial Analyst to join their team, and support a rapidly growing division.
This is not a reporting-only analyst position. The Senior Financial Analyst will have broad exposure across the P&L, supporting approximately $500M in revenue across several locations while partnering closely with commercial, operational and finance leadership.
Opportunity to join a highly regarded Twin Cities private equity firm. Fantastic culture, pedigree of people, and growth opportunity. Ideal candidates will have experience in upper-middle-market and bulge-bracket investment banking with direct M&A coverage experience.
Out of market candidates will be considered, if willing to relocate.
SkyWater is excited to be partnering again with a growing cooperative in the Twin Cities looking to add an Accounting Manager to their team!
Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a broad, hands-on role for an experienced accounting professional who is comfortable owning the full accounting cycle from start to finish. This person will oversee one direct report and take ownership of the month-end close, financial reporting, balance sheet reconciliations, AR/AP, member accounting, compliance and audit, while also serving as a key accounting resource across the organization.
They’re looking for 5+ years of progressive accounting experience, including experience independently owning a full month-end close and strong knowledge across the financial statements. Hands-on experience with compliance, audit and broader accounting operations is important, along with management experience. While experience with their specific accounting system isn’t required, they do want someone who has worked within and can quickly learn more robust accounting systems.
Beyond the technical accounting, they want someone who enjoys operating in a smaller-company environment – someone who can jump into the details, connect the dots across the business, improve processes and partner comfortably with people outside of accounting. There’s also a newer business line that could bring additional inventory and entity complexity as it grows, creating plenty of opportunity for this role to evolve.
Our client, a highly regarded financial institution in the Twin Cities, is seeking Investment Banking Associates/VPs — this is a fantastic opportunity for someone at a smaller lower-middle-market or boutique to step up to an upper-middle-market shop, or for those at bulge brackets to step into better culture/work like balance.
Compensation will be top-range of middle market investment banking comp and the pedigree of people this firm hires is second to none. Whether you plan on staying in investment banking the rest of your career or will eventually seek exit opportunities into PE/Corp Dev/Corp Finance this is the place to be.
Candidates looking to relocate from other markets are welcome to apply — relocation assistance can be provided. Our client is not offering visa sponsorship at this time.
We are partnering with a well-established, growing organization seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to support corporate functions through budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, and strategic analysis.
