The Americas Region CFO

CONFIDENTIAL CANDIDATE PROFILE Presented exclusively by Top Notch Finders, Inc. — Retained Executive Search

Chief Financial Officer | Americas Region (US, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica)Reference: TNF-CFO-2026-049

Snapshot A multinational finance executive currently serving as CFO for the Americas at a global enterprise, with full financial leadership across the US, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Costa Rica. Open to a confidential conversation about a regional or divisional CFO mandate at a multinational scaling its Latin American footprint, integrating acquisitions, or strengthening financial governance across multiple jurisdictions and currencies.

Why this candidate matters

• Full financial accountability for a $1.5B+ Americas portfolio spanning 5 countries and multiple legal entities

• Led financial integration of 3 cross-border acquisitions, capturing $50M+ in synergieswhile harmonizing reporting across jurisdictions

• Managed multi-currency exposure (USD, MXN, BRL, CLP, CRC), implementing hedging and treasury strategies that protected margin through significant FX volatility

• Drove a finance-transformation and shared-services initiative that reduced close cycle time by 40% and cut regional G&A by $25M+ annually

• Commanded compliance across US GAAP and IFRS, plus the distinct tax and statutory regimes of Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Costa Rica—including Brazil’s notoriously complex tax environment

What sets them apart A genuinely tri-cultural, multilingual (English/Spanish/Portuguese) finance leader who is equally credible presenting to a US-based board, negotiating with Brazilian tax authorities, and partnering with local country managers across Latin America. Combines technical depth (former Big Four background, CPA or equivalent) with commercial and operational partnership—viewed by CEOs as a strategic ally, not just a controller. Deep command of transfer pricing, intercompany structures, and the regulatory nuances that derail less-experienced regional CFOs.

Ideal next role A multinational—public or PE-backed—needing a CFO for the Americas to lead financial strategy across a multi-country Latin American footprint, integrate acquisitions, build scalable finance infrastructure, navigate complex multi-jurisdictional tax and compliance, or strengthen the financial narrative for investors and lenders.
