Apply for this job

Elevate Search Partners is proud to be retained to assist one of the best companies in the country with this key hire. Join one of the strongest companies in America in this rare opportunity to follow a respected leader who is ready to step into retirement. We are searching for an individual with a broad finance skillset – this role will oversee all external reporting, accounting research but will be a key player at the table, heavily involved in all aspects of strategy. This is an excellent role for an individual who has been intentionally adding breadth to your skillset in the hopes of one day becoming a CFO as you work directly for one of the most admired and respected CFO’s in the regulated utility industry.


  • Join an organization that lives and breaths “servant leadership” in an organization that is layered with brilliant yet humble executives


  • Rare opportunity to be a Controller who is constantly involved in commercial operations, financial strategy, treasury and key decision making


  • Work directly for a CFO who would love to hire their successor as you will be pulled into key initiatives constantly as you collaborate and partner with executives to help this organization continue to protect their impressive position in a competitive market


  • Step into an organization that has a reputation for winning with focus, energy, dignity and morals


  • Join a Midwest based organization in an attractive city with low cost of living, excellent schools and professional sports teams



This is an excellent role for an individual currently working for a large utility who has rotated steadily and grown into divisional CFO, FP&A, Treasury or other roles outside of accounting to come back to your accounting roots before stepping up to CFO. Join an organization that has a calm and focused culture that you can feel immediately when you enter their office. Wonderful opportunity to be a steward of a truly great company that is poised to begin possibly the most important chapter in their history. Executive compensation package that has consistently exceeded goals, positioning you to retire early if you wish and finish your career with a truly great organization in a high profile and enjoyable role.
