What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chief Financial Officer / CFO position at CFS?
Chief Financial Officer – Confidential National Retail & Distribution Company
Compensation: $200K to $250K
Work Model: On-site | Northeastern, Iowa
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This is a high-impact leadership opportunity with a well-established, family-owned company operating at a national scale. A recognized leader in its market, the organization is entering its next phase of growth and operational maturity.
The CFO will serve as the top financial leader and a trusted advisor to ownership, balancing hands-on operational leadership with long-term strategy. This role offers true influence over financial direction, capital planning, and business performance.
Key Duties & Responsibilities
This role offers the opportunity to influence both strategy and day-to-day performance while helping guide a respected, people-first company through its next chapter. Ideal for a finance leader who values impact, partnership, and building something long term.
