SkyWater has been retained by Christian Brothers Services, a 250 employee, mission-driven, faith-based organization, to identify their next Chief Financial Officer:
A long-standing and highly respected organization, this firm has a strong reputation for its culture, stability, and commitment to serving its members. With more than 60 years of history, the organization operates a complex, multi-entity model spanning health, retirement, risk, and consulting solutions, supporting thousands of institutions across the United States.
The Chief Financial Officer role is open due to a leadership transition and represents a critical hire for the organization. Sitting on the executive leadership team and reporting directly to the President & CEO, the CFO will lead all financial strategy, planning, and operations while serving as a key thought partner to leadership and the Board.
This is not a traditional CFO role. The organization is seeking a forward-looking, strategic finance leader who can operate beyond accounting, helping guide enterprise decision-making, anticipate downstream impacts, and bring greater clarity and discipline to a complex environment.
The CFO will have significant visibility across the organization, regularly engaging with the Board of Directors, audit and finance committees, and other stakeholders. This individual will play a central role in helping the organization evolve, modernize its financial approach, and position itself for long-term, sustainable growth.
*** This position offers a very strong overall package; including a competitive base salary, bonus incentives, and robust benefits. ***
*** We are currently only considering candidates in the Chicago area, or willing to relocate to the Chicago area. This role is based at their HQ in Romeoville, IL with an expectation of a regular on-site presence (Tues-Thurs). ***
