    About Our Client

    I'm partnered on a retained search with the CFO at a rapidly growing, PE backed organization located near Lisle, IL.

You will also work collaboratively with cross-discipline departments (engineers, project managers, finance, etc) to ensure accuracy in each project's completion. They are wanting this person to come in and hit the ground running to capitalize on the growth the company is experiencing and to quickly progress their career forward.
