Long-time SkyWater client looking to add a new leader to the business — This firm is a boutique M&A/PE Advisory firm that has experienced significant growth in the last 4 years — they are actively building out new services lines and offerings. Unmatched culture, meritocratic promotion, and entrepreneurial environment.
We are looking for a senior manager for what the firm calls their “FinOps” group. This person will be a high-level executor for office of the CFO/Controller projects for middle market PE-backed organizations.
The ideal candidate is someone who has private equity controllership/CFO/Finance experience, skilled in value creation and portco optimization/growth.
7-15 years of experience is ideal, CPA preferred. Prior management consulting experience is a plus.
Come join a quickly expanding organization set to IPO in the next few years. We are looking for a senior accountant to join the corporate controllership team focused on operational accounting, FP&A, optimizing new data analytics tools, and overall process improvement and value creation through the accounting function.
This reports directly to someone we placed in the organization 1 year ago — they have already been promoted and are continuing to build their team. If you want to be CFO or Controller one day this is the perfect role for you.
Ideal candidates have foundations in public accounting (audit) and their CPA certification.
I’m excited to be exclusively working on a Controller search that will really resonate with the operational accounting crowd.
This role is for someone who thrives in the day-to-day of accounting and genuinely enjoys making things run better. Clean closes, solid processes, fewer surprises, and a team that gets stronger over time.
The company is PE-backed and has already completed a Sage Intacct implementation. The focus now is execution, consistency, and operational excellence. The accounting itself is straightforward, but the impact during this phase of transformation is immediate and meaningful.
The role is tied to the south metro, but candidates anywhere in the Twin Cities are fair game. In-office needs are heavier at the beginning and ease up once things are running smoothly, typically landing at one to two days per week, at most.
