Our client is a rapidly growing, multi-state ABA therapy provider seeking a CFO to lead financial strategy, elevate planning and analytics, and partner closely with operations. This role is designed for a hands-on leader who can build scalable finance capabilities in a lean environment and support strategic initiatives in the future.

The CFO will provide leadership and oversight while expanding forward-looking finance, reporting, and operational decision support.

Key responsibilities

• Own the company’s finance strategy, including budgeting, forecasting, cash planning, and KPI management

• Build and lead FP&A capabilities, including utilization analytics, center-level performance, margin drivers, and productivity/efficiency reporting

• Partner with operations leadership to translate performance data into actionable recommendations

• Oversee financial reporting, controls, and accounting governance in coordination with the internal accounting lead and external partners

• Develop scalable reporting rhythms for the CEO and leadership team (dashboards, variance analysis, business reviews)

• Support growth initiatives, including new-state entry, center expansion, and performance improvement efforts

• Strengthen finance infrastructure over time (process improvements, systems optimization, policies, and team build-out as needed)

Ideal background

• Senior finance leader with experience in healthcare services and multi-site operations (ABA experience helpful but not required)

• Strong FP&A orientation with a track record of building planning and analytics in environments without a large finance department

• Operationally engaged style; able to work “in the business,” not only report on it

• Comfortable working with lean resources, setting structure, and creating repeatable finance processes

• High integrity and sound judgment; direct, transparent communication style

• Experience with QuickBooks or similar mid-market systems is helpful; must be systems-comfortable and able to improve reporting workflows

Why this role

• Opportunity to have direct impact on performance in a scaled, growing healthcare services platform

• Visible role partnering with the CEO and leadership team

• Build-out mandate: create FP&A and decision-support capabilities rather than inherit a fully built corporate structure

• Potential to play a central role in near-to-mid-term growth and execution
