Compensation: $350,000–$450,000, commensurate with experience
About the Opportunity
Our client, a well-established, multi-entity organization based in Alaska with federal government contracting operations, is seeking a seasoned finance executive to serve as Sr. CFO. This is an enterprise-level mandate for a leader who has already run a CFO seat at scale — someone ready to bring proven judgment to a complex, consolidated, multi-organizational structure and sit at the table with the President and Board on the company's biggest decisions.
Key Responsibilities
• Direct accounting and finance talent strategy across a multi-organizational enterprise, including staff development and succession
• Own the accuracy and integrity of consolidated financial reporting under GAAP and applicable trust/tax basis reporting requirements
• Govern internal controls, federal contracting compliance (FAR/CAS), and audit posture for DCAA/IRS engagements
• Serve as corporate lead on startups, mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures — from deal analysis through integration
• Set enterprise-wide budgeting, forecasting, and pricing strategy across CPFF, T&M, and FFP contract types
• Act as a strategic counterpart to the President/CEO in shaping long-range corporate direction
• Direct cash management, capital strategy, and banking/partner relationships to support future growth
• Serve as a trusted voice in Board and shareholder governance
Qualifications
• Master's degree in Business Administration, Accounting, or Finance required
• 10+ years of progressive financial, operational, and strategic leadership experience
• Demonstrated success as a sitting CFO
• Substantive experience partnering with or reporting to a Board of Directors
• Deep, hands-on experience overseeing financials for a $400M+ federal contracting business and a $250M+ commercial business
• History of scaling and transforming finance/accounting organizations
• Based in Anchorage or elsewhere in Alaska, or willing to relocate
• CPA preferred
• Experience with shareholder-owned organizations, including shareholder or trust-basis financial reporting
Compensation: $350,000–$450,000, commensurate with experience
