Oakland, California, United States E78 Talent Full time

Overview

We are seeking an experienced Interim Chief Financial Officer to step into a critical leadership role at a mission-driven, scaled food manufacturing and distribution business serving primarily public-sector customers. The company operates primarily in California, and plays a leadership role in its segment, though meaningful opportunities remain to improve cost structure, visibility, and financial rigor.

This is a highly hands-on role suited for a senior finance executive with deep operational, manufacturing, and turnaround experience who can stabilize leadership, strengthen core finance processes, and support the business through an important operating and contracting cycle.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide hands-on financial leadership during a period of transition and stabilization
  • Own cash flow, liquidity management, and lender reporting within an asset-based lending structure
  • Strengthen forecasting, budgeting, and scenario planning, improving FP&A discipline and credibility
  • Address core operational finance challenges, including:
  • Inventory accounting and controls
  • Labor costing and margin visibility
  • Cost leakage across manufacturing and distribution
  • Partner closely with the CEO and ownership on financial strategy, trade-offs, and prioritization
  • Lead and support the finance organization (~8 F&A staff), while coordinating with IT (~5 staff)
  • Oversee and pragmatically improve use of Microsoft Dynamics 365, with a focus on value realization rather than large-scale re-implementation
  • Support leadership continuity during the permanent CFO transition

Ideal Background

Former or current CFO / Interim CFO with experience in:

  • Manufacturing, food & beverage, or distribution-intensive businesses
  • Turnaround, stabilization, or post-restructuring environments
  • Strong operational finance skill set, including cost accounting, inventory, and margin analysis
  • Comfortable operating in lean, imperfect environments and driving progress without heavy infrastructure
  • Experience working with Private Equity owners and lender-driven reporting requirements
  • Track record of improving forecast accuracy and financial visibility
