Case Study: Hands-On CFO for Renewal by Andersen
Company Background
Renewal by Andersen is a leading provider of replacement windows, patio, and entry doors, with over 100 locations across North America. Known for delivering quality products and exceptional customer service, Renewal by Andersen continues to expand its footprint and market presence.

- Leading and developing finance teams
The offices sought a candidate capable of combining technical expertise with strong leadership to guide the organization through growth and change.

- Experience in manufacturing and multi-site operations
- Skills aligned with the scale and scope of Renewal by Andersen locations
