I have an offer to be a director of a finance function for a private company. Is it ok to ask to look at their financials prior to accepting the offer? It’s a PE backed company and I just to make sure they’re trending in the right direction financially before leaving my stable job to this.

Yes, it's wise if you are leaving a good thing you because yo udon't want to walk into a sh*t show and lose your mind AND your income.

I've asked multiple times, they will hem and haw because many are not profitable, nor cash flow positive; I had to sign an nda once or twice to see them. Others were like, "sure, take a look-- no problem!"

You could simply ask for certain kpi's instead.
Top line sales , 3 year historical sales trend, expected sales growth % next 3 years, GM/GP%, typical daily operating cash balance, # of employees, weekly gross payroll...stuff like that. # of trucks/fleet, notes payable $, %direct/indirect employees; bank lines, available line of credit;
sales tax /use tax amounts $ paid per month, stuff like that to verify they are telling you the truth.
they should offer that info w/o a problem.

So many great opps at a small /medium sized private company.

I was fired after I reported a partner for a serious (criminal) ethics violation. The firm covered it up. Are all companies like this in the end? I’ve lost my trust and don’t know how to start over.

For those considering exit opportunities and Sub K/S gurus the IRS is looking for a tax law specialist! Providing the link to USAJobs:

A law degree is not required. Great exposure given the increased focus on pass thru entities. Feel free to DM and I can answer any questions as best as I can!
