Rare Succession Opportunity in the Baltimore Metro Area.
Let's be honest.
Most finance leadership roles are just another title change.
This isn't one of them.

Legacy Search Advisors is conducting a search for a VP of Finance on behalf of a highly respected, family-owned professional services organization headquartered in the Baltimore Metro area.

This is a unique opportunity to step into a key leadership role and work alongside ownership as part of a planned succession strategy for the CFO's upcoming retirement.

The executive team would like to have a 6-9 months overlap which will set this new VP of Finance up for success! This will be ideal for someone coming from a Controller, or even an Assistant Controller role, who is growing into this new position!

The long-term vision?
➡️ Grow into the CFO role
➡️ Help lead a multi-entity organization through its next phase of growth
➡️ Become a trusted business partner to ownership and executive leadership

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
✅ Established and financially healthy organization
✅ Multi-entity business with operational complexity
✅ Direct exposure to ownership and executive decision-making
✅ Clear succession path to CFO
✅ Family-owned culture with strong employee retention
✅ Opportunity to modernize processes and drive strategic initiatives with technology

This role goes well beyond closing the books.

You'll be a key voice in strategic planning, financial leadership, business operations, forecasting, and helping shape the future direction of the organization.

We're seeking a leader who wants a seat at the table today and the opportunity to lead the entire financial function by early next year.

Ideal Background:
✔️ BS in Accounting & CPA Required
✔️Progressive finance and accounting leadership experience
✔️ Experience overseeing multiple entities, divisions, or business units
✔️ Strategic mindset with strong operational finance skills
✔️ Desire to grow into a CFO-level leadership role

The Bottom Line
Opportunities like this don't hit the market often.
A respected, stable company.
A planned leadership transition.
A future CFO path.
And the chance to make a lasting impact on a growing family-owned organization.

If you've been waiting for the right leadership opportunity rather than simply another job, EASY APPLY to arrange your interview today!
