Company: PE-backed, multi-branch portable sanitation platform (name disclosed upon mutual interest)
Location: Las Vegas, NV — partially remote, with occasional travel
Reports To: Chief Executive Officer, with significant interaction with the PE sponsor and Board of Directors
Scope: Finance, accounting oversight, treasury, tax, insurance and risk, IT, and M&A integration

About the Client

A PE-backed roll-up in the portable sanitation industry, operating branches across multiple states in the Western U.S. Core service lines include portable restrooms, luxury restroom trailers, temporary fence, and emergency response support.

The mission is to build the leading portable sanitation platform in the Western states through both organic growth and acquisitions, setting the industry standard for employee retention, customer service, and operational and financial integration. Leadership has a clear, defined timeline for that plan and for the return it is built to deliver to shareholders and the executive team.

About the Role

The client is seeking a CFO to build and lead the finance function, and to provide the financial discipline, visibility, and infrastructure required to support continued organic growth and add-on acquisitions.

The core purpose of this role is to BUILD the finance and accounting function of a rapidly growing organization, not to maintain an existing one. The CFO will own financial strategy and the development of the finance organization, financial reporting, planning and forecasting, treasury and liquidity, tax oversight, insurance and enterprise risk management, information systems, and M&A financial integration.

The CFO leads finance across Corporate and all branches, supported by an accounting team responsible for day-to-day accounting operations, transaction processing, accounts payable and receivable, close execution, and accounting staff. This is a senior financial leader and business partner seat, not the company's day-to-day accounting manager.
