Key Responsibilities
  • Lead all financial functions, including accounting, FP&A, budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning
  • Provide actionable insights and partner with operations to drive margin improvement and cost control
  • Oversee accurate and timely financial reporting in accordance with GAAP
  • Develop and implement KPIs, dashboards, and performance metrics across multiple locations
  • Manage cash flow, liquidity, and banking relationships, including ownership of rolling forecasts
  • Drive financial and operational process improvements, including ERP implementations and system enhancements
  • Evaluate growth initiatives, including capital investments and potential M&A activity
  • Build, lead, and mentor a high-performing finance and accounting team
  • Serve as a strategic partner to the CEO and executive leadership team

Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field (required)
  • 10+ years of progressive financial leadership experience, including CFO or #1 finance leader role
  • Experience within companies ranging approximately $75M–$300M in revenue
  • Proven success in multi-location, operationally complex environments (retail strongly preferred)
  • Strong experience in inventory-heavy and/or warehouse/distribution operations
  • Demonstrated leadership managing and developing finance teams (6+ direct/indirect reports)
  • Hands-on experience leading ERP implementations or major system upgrades
  • Advanced financial modeling, forecasting, and KPI development skills

Preferred Experience
  • Retail, automotive, or service-based industries
  • Experience in decentralized or multi-unit business models
  • M&A experience, particularly buy-side integration
  • Exposure to private equity or advisory board environments
  • Track record of standardizing processes across multiple locations

Profile We’re Targeting
  • Hands-on operator with a builder’s mindset
  • Strong blend of financial expertise and operational awareness
  • Direct, pragmatic, and solutions-oriented leadership style
  • Comfortable being on-site and embedded with the business
  • Proven ability to drive measurable improvements across finance and operations
