Interim CFO To Support Current CFO During Add-On Acquisition

Interim CFO needed for post-close accounting support at portco

A CFO at a PE-backed consumer products portco came to us with an urgent need for post-closing accounting support for an add-on acquisition the firm was about to close on for the portco. With the add-on about to close, there was an immediate need for an interim CFO that could translate the target’s accounting to align with GAAP, help with monthly closes, prep for audit, begin budgeting, and more. The portco CFO quickly needed an interim CFO for the new add-on that had small company experience, analytical skills, industry experience, and who was available to be onsite for the interim work.
