Fractional Chief Financial Officer

Co-Source Solutions is placing a fractional CFO with a Nasdaq-listed emerging-growth client to own the Q3 2026 close-to-filing process and drive credible remediation of the company's disclosed material weaknesses. The CFO will work directly alongside the Head of Finance and an India-based accounting team, scoping and negotiating deliverables with external advisors across audit, technical accounting, valuation, tax, and SOX functions.

This is a hands-on role requiring personal involvement in reviewing and drafting technical accounting conclusions, not a purely strategic oversight position. The CFO will phase external SOX advisory spend in line with the company's emerging-growth-company timeline, coach internal team members toward independent ownership of close and reporting processes, and track declining external advisory spend as a KPI of successful remediation progress.

• Own the Q3 2026 close-to-filing project plan and hold external providers to interim milestone dates, not just the final 10-Q deadline.
• Triage technical accounting matters each quarter, targeting the majority drafted in-house, with external firms engaged for review of the highest-risk items only.
• Implement a mandatory related-party screening step before transactions are submitted to the Board, addressing a recurring control gap.
• Lead remediation of material weakness categories covering revenue recognition, financial statement close processes, acquisitions, and related-party transaction approvals.
• Report quarterly remediation status with specific, evidenced actions consistent with SEC disclosure expectations.
• Coach the Head of Finance and India-based accounting team toward independent ownership of closing and reporting processes over the course of the engagement.

• Active CPA with direct, hands-on SEC reporting experience including Form 10-Q and 10-K filings at a public company.
• Demonstrated experience leading a company through remediation of a disclosed material weakness to a confirmed, evidenced conclusion.
• Technical accounting depth across business combinations and purchase price accounting, ASC 606 revenue recognition, debt and equity-linked instruments, impairment, and going concern evaluation.
• Experience directing offshore accounting teams and negotiating statements of work with external technical accounting, valuation, and SOX advisory firms.
• Prior CFO or Controller experience at an emerging growth company, including familiarity with the phased Section 404(a) and 404(b) compliance timeline.
• Experience with multi-entity consolidation involving recently acquired or divested subsidiaries.
