Confidential Chief Financial Officer | CFO Opportunity, Private Investment Platform (Greater LA)

Vertical Careers, Inc.
Glendale, CA

Chief Financial Officer

Location: Glendale, CA (Greater Los Angeles Area)

Employment: Full-Time | Onsite

The Opportunity

A privately owned investment platform with multiple operating businesses is seeking a seasoned Chief Financial Officer to partner closely with ownership on financial leadership, capital strategy, and operational scale.

This role is designed for an executive who thrives in complex, multi-entity environments and prefers building structure, clarity, and momentum rather than managing a single, static business.

What You Will Own

You will be responsible for creating financial visibility, discipline, and foresight across a portfolio of assets and operating companies including real estate and other private business investments. 

Core focus areas include:

  • Enterprise-level financial planning and performance oversight
  • Capital structure strategy and lender engagement
  • Financial governance, controls, and reporting integrity
  • Evaluation and execution support for growth initiatives and investments
  • Risk assessment and mitigation across entities and assets

You will work directly with ownership and senior leaders, acting as a strategic thought partner while remaining deeply connected to execution.

What Success Looks Like

  • Financial systems and reporting are clear, consolidated, and decision-ready
  • Capital resources are aligned with growth priorities
  • Leadership has confidence in forecasts, cash flow, and risk exposure
  • Infrastructure scales smoothly as the platform grows

Who This Is For

This role is well-suited for an executive who:

  • Has led finance across multiple entities or business lines
  • Is comfortable with debt instruments, lender relationships, and complex cash flows
  • Enjoys being close to the business rather than operating from a distance
  • Values discretion, trust, and long-term alignment

Experience in private investment environments, real estate-backed platforms, or owner-led businesses is highly relevant.

Compensation

Competitive executive compensation, inclusive of performance-based incentives and benefits. Long-term upside aligned with platform growth.

 

Why This Posting Is Confidential

Company name and identifying details will be shared selectively after initial conversations to protect confidentiality and ensure mutual alignment.
