Firm needs interim CFO to lead carveout
A principal at a PE firm came to us with a critical need for an interim CFO to lead the carveout of a manufacturing company that they had just signed on. With closing occurring in 60 days and a 12-month TSA that would then begin, the firm urgently needed an interim CFO that could be dedicated to the carveout infrastructure. The firm needed an individual who could perform advanced carveout tasks but was also willing to roll up their sleeves and be hands-on in tasks like setting up the GL architecture. It was critical that the firm found an interim CFO with a deep track record in PE, carveout experience, the ability to be onsite 3 days per week, experience in the manufacturing industry, and functional expertise in a wide variety of financial and accounting areas in order for the carveout to be smoothly executed.
