We are partnering with a growing manufacturing company to hire an Accounting Manager to help build and scale the accounting function.

CFO Succession | Transformational Leadership Opportunity
SkyWater is excited to partner with a leading Midwest-based nonprofit healthcare organization (~$500M revenue) as they bring on a Vice President of Finance to step into a clearly defined CFO succession plan within 6-9 months.
This is a rare opportunity to join a mission-driven organization at scale while shaping the future of its financial strategy and infrastructure.
Initially focused on operational finance leadership, you will oversee financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and regional finance teams across a multi-site organization. In short order, you will transition into the CFO role, assuming responsibility for enterprise financial strategy, capital planning, treasury, revenue cycle, and technology alignment.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
SkyWater Search Partners is excited to partner with a highly respected boutique investment bank in Edina, Minnesota, to identify an Investment Banking Associate to join their growing team. This firm stands out for its strong commitment to work-life balance, offering a sustainable environment with minimal weekend work – an uncommon advantage in the investment banking space.
As an Investment Banking Associate, you will play a key role in executing live M&A and capital raising mandates, supporting clients through every stage of the deal lifecycle. This role offers a unique blend of analytical rigor, client exposure, and hands-on deal execution.
This firm is known for delivering high-impact advisory services across mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, restructuring, and strategic consulting. Their client base spans public and private companies, private equity firms, lenders, and growth-stage businesses across a range of industries.
This is an excellent opportunity to join an entrepreneurial, high-performing team where you will work directly with senior bankers and gain meaningful exposure to live transactions, particularly within the renewable fuels and agribusiness sectors.
SkyWater is exclusively partnering with a leading construction and infrastructure company to find a full-time, onsite Project Controller based in the Twin Cities. Ideally, we are looking for candidates already local to Minnesota, but we are also open to candidates from outside the area who are motivated and ready to relocate.
In this role, you will be the key finance partner for large-scale construction and infrastructure projects. You will help project teams manage budgets, track cash flows, identify risks, and ensure accurate financial reporting. You will also mentor team members, improve processes, and play an important role in keeping projects running smoothly.
Skywater has partnered with this long-standing client for years, successfully placing more than 20 people across the business. We are now helping them find a Director of Finance Operations to lead plant-level financial management. This role combines strategic oversight with hands-on accounting and operational finance. You will drive month-end close, variance analysis, forecasting, and AOP while partnering closely with plant operations to ensure financial discipline, cost optimization, and operational efficiency.
As the company grows, this role will evolve. You will pivot from hands-on accounting to broader oversight and leadership while still staying connected to the day-to-day financial operations.
Local candidates in Minnesota will only be considered.
